Текст песни: Battle Of Gettysburg + перевод

On July 3rd in '63

I was a Corporal with the infantry

And I left my home in Tennessee

For I must follow General Lee

This was the Battle of Gettysburg

Where a sea of soldiers did converge

Bayonets, I heard them say

And now, the charge was on it’s way

I shouted loud, a rebel yell

And the sky was filled with cannon shell

And a horse cried out, my God, it’s hell

This was the Battle of Gettysburg

A boy up front fell to his knees

And I heard him cry, come to me, please

I held him gently and laid him down

And he looked at me from that battleground

Then from the camp, I saw a curl

My very soul, this was a girl

She held her side and said to me

If I must die, then let it be

My love lies dead, I know not where

But now I pray, I join him there

Then she smiled and touched my face

Closed her eyes and left this place

My eyes were filled with bitter tears

As sounds of dying filled my ears

I said, oh, Lord, and raised my hand

I’ll never hate another man

This was the Battle of Gettysburg

I yelled to Lee, at General Lee

To stop the cannons and concede

But no one heard, the words were gone

A sargeant said, get up, push on

This was the Battle of Gettysburg

I shouted loud, a rebel yell

And the sky was filled with cannon shell

And a horse cried out, my God, it’s hell

This was the Battle of Gettysburg

Yes, this was the Battle of Gettysburg

This was the Battle of Gettysburg

Yes, this was the Battle of Gettysburg
