Now it′s gone, gone, gone
Those years have passed away
It's gone, gone, gone
There′s truth in what I say
It's gone, gone, gone
There's nothing more to say
But I′d do anything if I could do it all again
Well, I′m an old man now and I fought with the grays
People won't believe me but there′s truth in what I say
Many hearts were broken and a lot of tears were shed
The sky was black and the battlefield was red
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Those years have passed away
It′s gone, gone, gone
There's truth in what I say
It′s gone, gone, gone
There's nothing more to say
But I'd do anything if I could do it all again
Now Stonewall Jackson stepped right up and then he said to me
He said, "The battle′s getting rough, son, guess we better flee
There′s grape shot all around us and the field is black with lead
You better start a-running, boy, before you lose your head"
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Those years have passed away
It′s gone, gone, gone
There's truth in what I say
It′s gone, gone, gone
There's nothing more to say
But I′d do anything if I could do it all again
Well, the cannons roared around us and the field was black with lead
I picked a soldier dressed in blue and filled him full of lead
I picked out six more soldiers there a-sitting on a mound
I fixed my bayonet to my gun and really mowed 'em down
Now it's gone, gone, gone
Those years have passed away
It′s gone, gone, gone
There′s truth in what I say
It's gone, gone, gone
There′s nothing more to say
But I'd do anything if I could do it all again
But I′d do anything if I could do it all again
