Vicksburg Lyrics by Howie Damron

Share the Feelin’

0

[Chorus]
Mama, I saw Jim at Vicksburg today
I had him in my sights
But I let him walk away
I couldn't kill him Mama
'Cause blood ain't blue or gray
Mama, I saw Jim as Vicksburg today
[Verse 1]
Mama, when you tell Daddy
Why I laid down my gun
Tell him not to be ashamed
Of what his son has done
Tell him I'm no coward
And I did not run away
But I could not kill my
Brother at Vicksburg today
[Chorus]
Mama, I saw Jim at Vicksburg today
I had him in my sights
But I let him walk away
I couldn't kill him Mama
'Cause blood ain't blue or gray
Mama, I saw Jim as Vicksburg today
[Verse 2]
Now for me this war is over
But I won't be coming home
'Cause there's folks down here in Dixie
Their feelings run too strong
They'll be telling everyone
How I defaced the gray
'Cause I could not kill
My brother down at Vicksburg today
[Chorus]
Mama, I saw Jim at Vicksburg today
I had him in my sights
But I let him walk away
I couldn't kill him Mama
'Cause blood ain't blue or gray
Mama, I saw Jim as Vicksburg today
[Tag]
But I'm the one who lost his life at Vicksburg today
