[intro]
(billy yank and johnny reb)
(billy yank and johnny reb)
(billy yank and johnny reb)
(billy yank and johnny reb)

[verse 1]
who’s gonna blow the bugles
and give the battle cry?
who’s gonna fire the gatling gun
and who’s gonna bravely die?
[verse 2]
who’s gonna be the daring?
who’s gonna be the bold?
who’s gonna bathe in pools of blood
and sleep out in the cold?

[chorus]
billy yank (billy yank)
and johnny reb (johnny reb)
billy yank (billy yank)
and johnny reb (johnny reb)
(billy yank and johnny reb)
(billy yank and johnny reb)

[verse 3]
who’s that with the blisters
on their feet and mouth?
not them politicians
in the north and in the south

[verse 4]
who’s that in the moonlight
talkin’ to his pa?
who’s that in the bushes
tradin’ coffee for a chaw?
[chorus]
billy yank (billy yank)
and johnny reb (johnny reb)
billy yank (billy yank)
and johnny reb (johnny reb)
(billy yank and johnny reb)
(billy yank and johnny reb)

[verse 5]
when the war is ovеr
lawsy mercy me!
who’s gonna guard our country
from some forеign enemy?

[verse 6]
who’s gonna drive the cattle?
who’s gonna feed the mills?
who’s gonna plow the cotton and corn
and who’s a+gonna run the stills?

[chorus]
billy yank (billy yank)
and johnny reb (johnny reb)
billy yank (billy yank)
and johnny reb (johnny reb)
(billy yank and johnny reb)
(billy yank and johnny reb)
[verse 7]
who’s gonna court the ladies
and buy their wedding bands?
who’s gonna shoe their pretty little feet
and glove their pretty little hands?

[verse 8]
who’s gonna be the leaders?
who’s gonna be the men?
who’s gonna see that we don’t ever
fight ourselves again?

[chorus]
billy yank (billy yank)
and johnny reb (johnny reb)
billy yank (billy yank)
and johnny reb (johnny reb)
(billy yank and johnny reb)
(billy yank and johnny reb)

[outro]
(billy yank and johnny reb)
