Loading...

[verse 1]
wounded and weary he came ridin’ through our camp
he said, “this war’s almost over, boys, go on back to birmingham”
but i still could hear the thunder of the cannons in my head
as i walked two hundred miles among the living and the dead

[verse 2]
i could only pray i had a home to go home to
oh, i left my young bride waiting in a path of union blue
now visions of her haunt me on this lonely road tonight
i’d surrender all of dixie if i could just hold my

[chorus]
confederate rose
heaven hold her safe ’til i get home
and the angels know
she’s the sweetest southern flower ever grown
my confederate rose

[verse 3]
“hey, mister, have you seen her, a girl with raven hair?”
he said, “look out in the churchyard, son, a lot of us are there”
a broken heart will trick a mind and say that she’s not gone
but my eyes just couldn’t lie about the name there on the stone

[interlude]
confederate rose
confederate rose
[verse 4]
a tender hand upon my shoulder sent a chill all over me
i turned and saw my darling, cried, “oh, lord, how can this be?”
she said, “that’s not me lyin’ there, but someone you never knew
oh, i may have named her after me, but she looked just like you”

[chorus]
confederate rose
heaven hold her safe ’til we get home
and the angels know
she’s the sweetest southern flower ever grown
our confederate rose

[outro]
confederate rose
