They're gonna have to share the weight together

Idle hands will see a good farm slowly die

Shoulder to shoulder, side by side

When flags and bullets start to fly

They watched his shadow fade around the bend

            Gm  
He's headed for a different kind of thunder

And the stunned surprise in the eyes of dying men

The old black rooster sang him down that dirt road

     Dm                           /C    Bb
His step seemed bold, his manner fancy-free

           Gm
I pray we see him alive and well in the fall here

E                        A         Dm
Than that God-forsaken place in Tennessee

After all of this, if we should prevail

Heaven help the South when Sherman comes their way
