Vicksburg Lyrics by Grasstowne

Kickin’ Up Dust

2011

[Intro]
He saw a rider coming, with the note there in his hand
Said we're seeing blue in Vicksburg soon, and we're needing every man
She came upon him, packing, said, where you going dear
He said, our boys are hurting, as he wiped away the tears

[Verse 1]
He rode all day and night, they say, with a gun strapped to his side
He was gone to meet him face-to-face 'cause he never running high
He saw his brothers dying, their eyes all filled with pain
Brett pulled the tracks, I can bring him back, said they'll never see a train

[Chorus]
They called that fight a battle, but it never was okay
But nothing to load up their guns, all put up on the planes

[Verse 2]
She saw a rider coming, they met without stretched arms
She fell on her knees and thanked the Lord for keeping him from harm
He smelled the sweet magnolia, saw the cotton in the fields
Until the day he died, he'd never take a fifty dollar bill

[Chorus]
They called that fight a battle, but it never was okay
But nothing to load up their guns, all put up on the planes
