Chickamauga Lyrics by Willy Tea Taylor

Knuckleball Prime

0

Down by this creekside is as far as I'll be goin'
Layin' halfway in the water, I can feel the water flowin'
I feel my heart poundin' and I'm blinded by the smoke
But I swear I see you comin' my way in a boat
You pick me up and we row down together
You pick me up and we row side by side
Now I'm turnin' the waters red, here at Chickamauga
And it's time that this young man will die
Your skin is the softest thing I've ever known
Your face is the prettiest one in Ohio
Your tears fell and mingled with the pourin' down rain
You were my first kiss, my last kiss, then I hopped on that train
Off to D.C. where the boys go out fightin'
Little Sam and ol' Charlie Watson by my side
Couldn't wait to be absorbed in all that glory
We were to young and we were to swift to die
Kept all your letters right next to my heart
I read 'em every day and I could sing them in the dark
But your picture, my darlin', I lost a while back
With little Sam and Charlie boy at the liberty gap
Oh the hit they took I just can't describe it
I was the lucky one, I was fightin' right by their side
And I took Chuck's boots, that's how he wanted it
And I put 'em on and I walked away and I cried
Today the sun is shinin', all I feel is your smile
Strength that it gave me every inch and every mile
Clear blue water and clear blue sky
For a second, it was almost as pretty as your eyes
And the smoke came right after my ears filled with thunder
I saw the tales of brave men took right under
And I knew I'd never see you bootladys daughter
As the water swept away with my heart
Down by this creekside is as far as I'll be goin
Layin' halfway in the water, I can feel the water flowin'
I feel my heart poundin' and I'm blinded by the smoke
But I swear I see you comin' my way in your boat
You pick me up and we row down together
You pick me up and we row side by side
Now I'm turnin' the waters red, here at Chickamauga
And it's time that this young boy will die
