First Battalion

First Battalion - The Brothers Four (四兄弟)

Boom bah bah

Boom bah bah boom

Twelve riders in the gloom

Seven show red and the rest are dead

But the First Battalion's home

Boom bah bah

Boom bah bah boom

You can hear the hoof beats boom

The drums are low and the pace is slow

But the First Battalion's home

So run to your homes Virginia gals

And fix your hair with pins

And give them wine and kisses

But don't ask them where they've been

Boom bah bah

Boom bah bah boom

And Richmond is their tomb

There's a hundred still at Richmond

Three hundred dead at Gettysburg

And a hundred more we've never found

But the First Battalion's home

Boom bah bah

Boom bah bah boom

Boom bah bah

Boom bah bah boom

Boom boom boom
