You fought all the way

Johnny Reb Johnny Reb

You fought all the way Johnny Reb

I saw you a-marchin' with Robert E Lee

You held your head high tryin' to win the victory

You fought for your folks but you didn't die in vain

Even though you lost they speak highly of your name

'Cause you fought all the way

Johnny Reb Johnny Reb

You fought all the way Johnny Reb

I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside

Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side

I saw the young boys as they began to fall

You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all

But you fought all the way

Johnny Reb Johnny Reb

You fought all the way Johnny Reb

I saw Gen'ral Lee raise a sabre in his hand

Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand

You marched in the battle of the Grey and the Red

When the cannon smoke cleared it took days to count the dead

'Cause you fought all the way

Johnny Reb Johnny Reb

You fought all the way Johnny Reb

When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall

The folks thought he'd call a great vict'ry ball

But he asked the band to play the song Dixie

For you Johnny Reb and all that you believe

Cause You fought all the way

Johnny Reb Johnny Reb

Yeah you fought all the way Johnny Reb

You fought all the way

Johnny Reb Johnny Reb

You fought all the way Johnny Reb
