howie damron – vicksburg lyrics
[chorus]
mama, i saw jim at vicksburg today
i had him in my sights
but i let him walk away
i couldn’t k!ll him mama
’cause blood ain’t blue or gray
mama, i saw jim as vicksburg today
[verse 1]
mama, when you tell daddy
why i laid down my gun
tell him not to be ashamed
of what his son has done
tell him i’m no coward
and i did not run away
but i could not k!ll my
brother at vicksburg today
[chorus]
mama, i saw jim at vicksburg today
i had him in my sights
but i let him walk away
i couldn’t k!ll him mama
’cause blood ain’t blue or gray
mama, i saw jim as vicksburg today
[verse 2]
now for me this war is over
but i won’t be coming home
’cause there’s folks down here in dixie
their feelings run too strong
they’ll be telling everyone
how i defaced the gray
’cause i could not k!ll
my brother down at vicksburg today
[chorus]
mama, i saw jim at vicksburg today
i had him in my sights
but i let him walk away
i couldn’t k!ll him mama
’cause blood ain’t blue or gray
mama, i saw jim as vicksburg today
[tag]
but i’m the one who lost his life at vicksburg today
