Ballad Of The 20th Maine
(专辑: Field Notes, Vol. 1 - 2015)
My name is Andrew Tozier, I'm a
child of Litchfield, Maine And I
left my only family for the
sea, the
salt, and rain And when Lincoln called the
banners in 1861 Well I
joined the
union army for the
land that I
am from We were baptized by fire in the
battle of Bull Run And we fought our southern brothers in the
wind, the
snow, and sun And when our time was over I
heard the
governor say "Keep fighting for the
union for just another day" So we joined the
lion of Bowdoin, Chamberlain his name And we marched once more toward battle as the
20th of Maine If we should die today, then dream a
dream of heaven Take your northern hearts with you to the
grave Be proud and true you are a
union soldier Stand fast, ye are the
boys of Maine Well, our western flank, it was missing As the
confederates, they pushed on And I
fought them tooth and nail Our ammunition all but gone And alone I
stood with colors I
was Flying proud and true For to let my northern brothers know The
battle was not through And then appeared our lion, he was roaring bayonets Charging down the
mountain with what forces we had left 'Cause we're as steadfast as Katahdin We're as hard as winter's rain Go straight to hell with your rebel yell We are the
boys of Maine And if we should die today, then dream a
dream of heaven And take your northern hearts with you to the
grave Be proud and true you are a
union soldier Stand fast, ye are the
boys Stand fast, ye are the
boys Stand fast, ye are the
boys of Maine
