Civil War Medley: Bright Golden Buttons / The First Battalion / Yes I See / Two Brothers - The Limeliters

Lyricist：Bob Camp

Composer：Bob Camp

Oh hear the drums thunder

They sound such a wonder

Go off march off to war boys

And have at your fun

With your bangles and spangles

And bright golden buttons

And bright golden buttons

That shine in the sun

Oh the cannon are screaming

Or is it my dreaming

Young men will stumble

And fall in the dust

And the tears turn to crying

When life turns to dying

And bright golden buttons

Will all turn to rust

Boom bah bah boom bah bah boom

Twelve riders in the gloom

Seven show red and the rest are dead

But the First Battalion's home

Boom bah bah boom bah bah boom

You can hear the hoof beats boom

The drums are low and the pace is slow

But the First Battalion's home

So run to your home Virginia Gals

Fix your hair with pins

Give them wine and kisses

But don't ask them where they've been

Boom bah bah boom bah bah boom

And Richmond is their tomb

There's a hundred still at Richmond

Three hundred dead at Gettysburg

A hundred more we've never found

But the First Battalion's home

There's a battle raging somewhere

And it's thunder shakes the ground

Terrible silence

When it's over

Only death makes such a sound

And I see

Yes I see

On the last day of July

Yes I see

Yes I see

Yes I see

Yes I see

On the last day of July

Somethings moving in the shadows

What is this that's drawing nigh

It's the reaper moving silent

Must be someone's time to die

And I see

Yes I see

On the last day of July

Oh yes I see

Yes I see

On the last day of July

Oh yes I see

Yes I see

On the last day of July

Two brothers on their way

Two brothers on their way

Two brothers on their way

One wore blue and one wore grey

One wore blue and one wore grey

As they marched along their way

The fife and drum began to play

All on a beautiful morning

One was gentle

One was kind

One was gentle

One was kind

One came home

One stayed behind

'Cause cannon ball don't pay no mind

Cannon ball don't pay no mind

Though you're gentle or you're kind

Don't think of the folks behind

All on a beautiful morning

Two girls waiting by the railroad track

Two girls waiting by the railroad track

For their darlings to come back

One wore blue and one wore black

One wore blue and one wore black

Waiting by the railroad track

For their darlings to come back

All on a beautiful morning

Boom bah bah boom bah bah boom

And Richmond is their tomb

There's a hundred still at Richmond

Three hundred dead at Gettysburg

And hundred more we've never found

And hundred more we've never found

But the First Battalion's home
