[00:11.5] 'Tis old Stonewall, the Rebel, that leans on his sword
[00:15] And while we are mounting, prays low to the Lord
[00:18.2] "Now each cavalier that loves Honor and Right,
[00:21.2] Let him follow the feather of Stuart tonight."
[00:24.5] Come tighten your girth and slacken your rein
[00:27.7] Come buckle your blanket and holster again
[00:30.7] Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
[00:37.5] For he must ride sure that goes Riding a Raid!
[00:40.7] galloping galloping galloping galloping
[00:44] tighten your girth slacken your rein
[00:46.8] galloping galloping galloping galloping
[00:50.2] buckle your blanket and holster again
[01:05.7] Then gallop, now gallop, to swim or to ford!
[01:08.7] Old Stonewall, still watching, prays low to the Lord
[01:12] "Good-bye dear old Rebel! The river's not wide
[01:15] And Maryland's lights in her window to guide."
[01:18] Come tighten your girth and slacken your rein
[01:21.2] Come buckle your blanket and holster again
[01:24.6] Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
[01:31] For he must ride sure that goes Riding a Raid!
[01:34] galloping galloping galloping galloping
[01:37.4] tighten your girth slacken your rein
[01:40.3] galloping galloping galloping galloping
[01:43.7] buckle your blanket and holster again
[01:59] Then gallop, then gallop, by ravines and rocks!
[02:02] Who bar us the way take his toll in hard knocks
[02:05] with these points of steel, on the line of Penn
[02:08] We made some fine strokes-and we'll make 'em again
[02:11.7] Come tighten your girth and slacken your rein
[02:14.7] Come buckle your blanket and holster again
[02:17.3] Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
[02:24] For he must ride sure that goes Riding a Raid!
[02:27.2] galloping galloping galloping galloping
[02:30.4] tighten your girth slacken your reins
[02:33.8] galloping galloping galloping galloping
[02:36.8] buckle your blanket and holster again
[02:39.6] Ride Ride Ride Ride
[02:43] Ride Riding a Raid
