I'm writing this letter to my darling from high on a hill |
| [00:17.77] |
We've been marching ten days and were just outside Hopkinsville |
| [00:25.28] |
It's been snowing all night and we ain't got no more kerosene |
| [00:32.95] |
It's colder than hell, hope you're doing well, Josephine |
| [00:40.96] |
|
| [00:45.21] |
There's a fever in camp and our boys are too sick to fight |
| [00:53.09] |
We done lost old Calvin, Beaver wont make it through the night |
| [01:00.76] |
I overheard the captain say it's the worst has ever seen |
| [01:08.55] |
I'm losing some weight but I'm still standing up straight, Josephine |
| [01:14.87] |
|
| [01:16.62] |
Tell my children I miss them and wish I could kiss them once more |
| [01:24.54] |
Bet they've grown a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door |
| [01:30.83] |
Tell mama and daddy I'm alright and just one more thing |
| [01:37.56] |
I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine |
| [01:45.34] |
|
| [01:51.30] |
There's three thousand union troops camped at the river below |
| [01:58.82] |
Six hundreds of us, least there was two nights ago |
| [02:06.71] |
When Erwin deserted they hung him down by the tree |
| [02:14.58] |
God I'm so scared, keep me in your prayers, Josephine |
| [02:20.60] |
|
| [02:22.25] |
Well the orders come down, we'll attack tonight at nightfall |
| [02:29.90] |
If we can stop them right here we can win this war once and for all |
| [02:38.43] |
You know, I killed a union boy last week, bet he was'nt fourteen |
| [02:45.74] |
He looked just like our son, forgive me for what I've done, Josephine |
| [02:51.92] |
|
| [02:53.89] |
Tell my children I miss them and wish I could kiss them once more |
| [03:01.57] |
Bet they've grown a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door |
| [03:08.14] |
Tell mama and daddy I'm alright and just one more thing |
| [03:14.40] |
I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine |
| [03:22.22] |
|
| [03:27.95] |
And lastly my darling, in case I should be killed |
| [03:35.08] |
Don't grieve me too long, promise me that you will |
| [03:43.66] |
Marry another, don't let him treat our babies mean |
| [03:51.22] |
When he's holding you, would you think of me too, Josephine? |
| [03:57.50] |
|
| [03:58.96] |
Tell my babies I miss them and wish I could kiss them once more |
| [04:06.90] |
Bet they've grown a foot since they waved me goodbye at the door |
| [04:13.24] |
Tell mama and daddy I'm alright and just one more thing |
| [04:20.47] |
I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine |
| [04:26.75] |
|
| [04:28.09] |
I love you, I love you, I love you, Josephine |
