nothin fancy - andersonville lyrics

[verse 1]
in the spring of sixty+one
i kissed my mother goodbye
and i put on a blue uniform
and i fought for lincoln’s side
’til i got caught by johnny reb
in the woods near chapel hill
and i wish to god he would have k!lled me then
but he sent me to andersonville

[verse 2]
my uniform is faded now
there’s no boots upon my feet
and i’m pullin’ worms out of the mud
for there’s nothin’ else here to eat
the rebs can’t even feed their own
there’s no way that they can fill
the belliеs of the yankees here
starvin’ in andеrsonville

[chorus]
some men are born to preach god’s word
some men are born to k!ll
i guess that i was only born
to die in andersonville
[verse 3]
i dug a hole with my bare hands
in that red hard georgia clay
’cause there’s just no shelter from the sun
or the cold wind or the rain
i’m too d+mn weak to stand up tall
so i’ll just lay quiet and still
they can bury me in this hole i dug
when i die in andersonville

[verse 4]
i dream the same dream every night
of a woman i’ve never known
she’s standing by a warm fireside
she whispers i have come home
every mornin’ when i wake i pray
someday that she will lay
a flower on my gravesite
when i die in andersonville

[chorus]
some men are born to preach god’s word
some men are born to k!ll
i guess that i was only born
to die in andersonville
