Johnny Reb Songtext

von Rainmakers

Hey Johnny Reb where are you going
Don't you know this war isn't done
Hey Johnny Reb where are you going
Even though this battle wasn't won
There's nothing worth fighting for
Any way you cut it
Gonna leave that flag behind
So long Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
Oh Johnny Reb goodbye

Hey Johnny Reb where did the wind blow
All your courage, all of your nerve
Tyrants arise, armies go marching
Who will say what needs to be heard
I'm hitching down to Memphis
Gonna hock this darn guitar
Gonna leave that song behind
So long Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
Oh Johnny Reb goodbye

Hey Johnny Reb where will we find you
When they need somebody who'll stand
Guarding the gat, keys to the kingdom
Jingly freedom bells in your hand
Forward all the mail to the last frontier
Gonna kiss that cause goodbye
So long Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
Johnny Reb goodbye
