[00:17.393] | Twas early in the morning of 1863 |
[00:21.070] | We started out on picket, not knowing what we'd see |
[00:24.744] | The bridge we knew was floating. If the yankee should persue |
[00:28.511] | We know we should be captured if runing we'd not do |
[00:34.212] | To stop and give them battle we never thought of it |
[00:37.932] | The shot at us did rattle, so we thought we'd better "git" |
[00:41.671] | The captain tried to rally us and so did brave young Linn |
[00:45.081] | And Rader too with pistol drawn, Fenly next "put in" |
[00:50.855] | Rainbolt too, with angry words attempts to stop our flight |
[00:54.576] | They tell us yet to stop with them, and give the yankees fight |
[00:58.287] | They saw they could not stop us, to try it would be in vain |
[01:01.747] | So their only chance to safety was to give their steeds the rein |
[01:07.730] | Now this portion of my story will cause your hearts to bleed |
[01:11.485] | It tells of those who halted while going at full speed |
[01:14.965] | First came Billy Eddins with musket shot in thigh |
[01:18.685] | He was told by the yankees "surrender now or die!" |
[01:41.319] | Then came poor Johnny Burnes with sabre cut in head |
[01:44.995] | And nearby him, and wounded, stood the still unconquered Red |
[01:48.655] | Then Oscar and June Harris stood near in sore affright |
[01:52.317] | Then came the young De Marcus, in none the better plight |
[01:58.052] | Yarborough too with chalky cheek was walking down the road |
[02:01.819] | The yankees had to some extent reliey'd him of his load |
[02:05.531] | His overcoat he had pull'd off and in his shirt he stood |
[02:09.248] | In woeful plight, he was a sight, his face contain'd no blood |
[02:15.245] | Then came the lively Lilly, with teeth hard set in wrath |
[02:18.420] | To think that some had pass'd him by, but picked him up at last |
[02:22.137] | Then Burnes came, and Maynard, them Graham and Jim Baugh |
[02:26.101] | The gallant Bone was found along and brought back from afar |
[02:48.271] | But of that handsome Parton I must not fail to tell |
[02:51.940] | His graceful way of riding you all remember well |
[02:55.670] | But today the fates concluded to stop his wild career |
[02:59.617] | So from his horse was jolted by a musket from the rear |
[03:05.301] | The gallant Hill and dashing Dees, were spurring for dear life |
[03:08.750] | When a yankee rode with perfect ease upon them with a knife |
[03:12.754] | Surrender now my pretty pair and do it quickly too |
[03:16.476] | Stop at once and turn your mare or I will run you through! |
[03:22.161] | They stopped in once and faced about and to the rear did start |
[03:25.566] | And back they came with legs quite lame with faint and sinking heart |
[03:29.277] | And there they saw a crowd who were gobbled up that day |
[03:33.035] | They were the twain that made 17, and we were march'd away |
