Yeah you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb

You fought all the way Johnny Reb

I saw you a marchin' with Robert E Lee

You held your head high tryin' to win the victory

You fought for you folks but you didn't die in vain

And even though you lost they speak highly of your name

You fought all the way...

I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside

Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side

Saw the young boys when they began to fall

There were tears in your eyes but you couldn't help at all

You fought all the way...

I saw General Lee raise a sabre in his hand

Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand

You marched into battle with the Grey and the Red

When the smoke cleared away it took days to count the dead

Cause you fought all the way...

And when President Lincoln heard the news of your fall

Everyone said there'd be a victory ball

But he asked the band if they would play dixie

For you Johnny Reb and for what you believed

Cause you fought all the way...

Yeah you fought all the way...
