zack jolet – the southern deserter lyrics
war’s goin’ bad
but the generals won’t admit it
and as for us poor grunts
we gotta grin and bear it
well i’m cuttin’ out
i ain’t doin’ this no more
i’m headin’ on back home
won’t die for this d-mn war
i am a lone
southern deserter
wanderin’ the plains, homeward bound
if they catch me, they’ll k!ll ne
no difference that i see
in goin’ forward or goin’ back
back home i had a farm
a little crop of wheat
never owned no slaves
didn’t see the need
when lincoln got elected
i bought what they sold me
far too late i realized
there was no enemy
i am a lone
southern deserter
wanderin’ the plains, homeward bound
if they catch me, they’ll k!ll ne
no difference that i see
in goin’ forward or goin’ back
when they marched me off
they didn’t let me know
that neighbors and family
would become my foes
i k!lled friend, cousin, brother
and so many others
and now i got my druthers
i ain’t marchin’ anymore
i am a lone
southern deserter
wanderin’ the plains, homeward bound
if they catch me, they’ll k!ll ne
no difference that i see
in goin’ forward or goin’ back
