Stonewall Jackson's Way (Remastered 2020)

Stonewall Jackson's Way (Remastered 2020) - Tennessee Ernie Ford

Stack arms men pile on the rails

Stir up the campfire bright

No matter if the canteen fails

We'll make a roaring night

Here shenandoah brawls along

There burly blue ridge echoes strong

To swell the brigade's rousing song

Of stonewall Jackson's way

Here Shenandoah brawls along

There burly blue ridge echoes strong

To swell the brigade's rousing song

Of stonewall Jackson's way

Stonewall Jackson's way

We see him now the old slouched hat

Cocked o'er his eye askew

The shrewd dry smile the speech so pat

So calm so blunt so true

That blue light elder knows 'em well

Says he that's banks he's fond of shell

Lord save his soul we'll give him well

That's stonewall Jackson's way

Here Shenandoah brawls along

There burly blue ridge echoes strong

To swell the brigade's rousing song

Of stonewall Jackson's way

Stonewall Jackson's way

Silence ground arms kneel all caps off

Old blue light's going to pray

Strangle the fool that dares to scoff

Attention it's his way

Appealing from his native sod

In forma pauperis to god

Lay bare thine arm stretch forth thy rod

Amen that's Stonewall Jackon's way

Here Shenandoah brawls along

There burly blue ridge echoes strong

To swell the brigade's rousing song

Of stonewall Jackson's way

Stonewall Jackson's way

Ah maiden wait and watch and yearn

For news of stonewall's band

Ah widow read with eyes that burn

That ring upon thy hand

Ah wife sew on pray on hope on

Thy life shall not be all forlorn

The foe had better ne'er been born

That gets in stonewall's way

Here Shenandoah brawls along

There burly blue ridge echoes strong

To swell the brigade's rousing song

Of Stonewall Jackson's way

Stonewall Jackson's way
