we gave them the bayonet - corretja lyrics

between mcdowell and glory, jackson stood ready to die
they’d never heard anything like the rebel yell, (their unholy cries!!)
shoving them back, with drawn bayonet
women and children clogged the streets all the way to the potomac
he would defend what he loved until the end
capturing union guns, saving the old dominion
hoping for a path to the james, and quick victory
union troops met a stonewall, took their place in history
by noon, manassas was enveloped by the thick summer’s heat
at sun down, rivers of union blood were flowing at his feet
jackson’s last fight against pneumonia, was one battle he could not win
no shots fired, no charging troops
just water in his lungs
he surely would have preferred to die defending his beautiful home

- corretja lyrics
