|
| 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’m born to win the race
|
| 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 sa 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-sittin'on a mound
|
| I fixed my bayonet to my gun and really mowed them down
