Johnny Reb Johnny Horton

[Chorus]
You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb

[Verse 1]
I saw you a-marchin' with Robert E. Lee
You held your head a-high tryna win the victory
You fought for your folks, but you didn't die in vain
Even though you lost they speak highly of your name

[Chorus]
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb

[Verse 2]
I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
I saw the young boys as they began to fall
You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all

[Chorus]
But you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb

[Verse 3]
I saw General Lee raise a sabre in his hand
Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand
You marched in the battle of the Grey and the Red
When the cannon smoke cleared, took days to count the dead
