APPOMATTOX

THE YEAR WAS APRIL OF ‘65

I CHEATED DEATH AND I’M STILL ALIVE

FOUR YEARS OF MY LIFE

I’VE BEEN CALLED THE REBEL

TATTERED AND WORN

BUT THE FIGHT I WILL CARRY ON

UNTIL THAT MORNIN’

THEY SAID NO ONE SHALL HAVE TO DIE

CHORUS

AND I HELD MY HEAD UP HIGH

AND I SHED NOT A TEAR

BUT THE CAUSE THAT I FOUGHT FOR

I STILL HOLD SO DEAR

LET IT BE SAID

YOU CAN WRITE MY WORDS IN STONE

IF I WAS ASKED TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY

I’D DIE FOR MY HOME

OUR UNIFORMS THEY WERE RAGGED

OUR BUTTONS HAD TO BE REMOVED

FOR NO SIGN OF THE SOUTHERN ARMY

COULD NO LONGER BE IN VIEW

AS WE GATHERED TO SAY OUR LAST GOODBYE’S

WE FOLDED OUR SOUTHERN PRIDE

WE COULD STILL SEE THE FEAR

IN THOSE YANKEES EYES

CHORUS

CHARLOTTESVILLE IS WHERE I’LL GO

THAT’LL BE MY HOME

FOR THE DEEDS OF THE LAST FOUR YEARS

WILL FOLLOW ME THIS I KNOW

BUT WHEN I DIE

 VIRGINIA SOIL IS WHERE I’LL REST

YOU CAN WRITE UPON MY TOMBSTONE

THIS REBEL DID HIS BEST

CHORUS
