Old EnoughDo you hear that rebel yell Sounds like they're giving some yankees hell I guess it serves them right They've stolen everything in sight Chorus: Before long we'll be old enough Then they'll have to let us join up I'm going to join the cavalry And ride with Forrest in Tennessee You won't believe what I just heard General Lee is attacking Gettysburg If he can win on Northern ground Maybe we can turn this war around Chorus: Before long we'll be old enough Then they'll have to let us join up I'm going to join the cavalry And ride with Forrest in Tennessee I'm afraid I have some bad news Father took a bullet near Baton Rouge No Daddy's never coming home But he would want us to both be strong Chorus: Before long we'll be old enough Then they'll have to let us join up I'm going to join the cavalry And ride with Forrest in Tennessee The battle at Gettysburg was lost It was a desperate move at a great cost The charge of Pickett's Brigade Came a day or two too late Chorus: Before long we'll be old enough Then they'll have to let us join up I'm going to join the cavalry And ride with Forrest in Tennessee Now they say Atlanta finally fell The lines are down so it's hard to tell They say Sherman's headed east He won't stop till he gets to the sea Chorus: Before long we'll be old enough Then they'll have to let us join up I'm going to join the cavalry And ride with Forrest in Tennessee The yankees are just outside of town I heard they shot an old man down Go and grab our hunting guns We might die but we'll never run Chorus: Before long we'll be old enough Then they'll have to let us join up I'm going to join the cavalry And ride with Forrest in Tennessee There are soldiers in the yard And they are setting fire to our barn Stand by the window and when I say Break the glass and fire away Copyright Kent Newsome and Ronnie Jeffrey All Rights Reserved |
