Californis Gold and Johnny Reb 2
CALIFORNIA GOLD AND JOHNNY REB
PART 2
So now we’ve made it we’re back in Tennessee
Don’t have to run anymore I’m in the land of the free
Heard the president was sending boys called the yanks
To take over our land and the money from our banks
Now you don’t mess with the boys of the south
Because we’ve been taught not to run our mouths
So if you want a fight just make your way here
These Johnny Reb boys will show you no fear
I signed up for the 1st calvary just for a little while
Now I’ve got my uniform and my girl gives me a smile
A place called Shiloh dead soldiers every where
Bullets flying all around but we don’t seem to care
Captain said we had to go keep our on with the attack
Then I felt the heat and pain from a bullet in my back
Just tell my momma and girl I went down in a fight
Because they said I wouldn’t make it through the night
