And it’s hardtack when I’m hungry No water when I’m dry And it does not make a difference if I live or die I will lay where with the wounded I will lay here with the dying As the sun bows out with a thousand goodbyes I unravel in this bloodshed Bodies piled so high I pray but it does nothing empty words cast in the sky I will lay where with the wounded I will lay here with the dying As the sun bows out with a thousand goodbyes Today I lay down in the open field Bullets pass me by and many men were killed I’m too sick to fight I’m to tired to die If I live to see tomorrow I doubt that I will rise I will lay where with the wounded I will lay here with the dying As the sun bows out with a thousand goodbyes I deserted at Antietam, I traveled fast and light The posse caught up with me and almost took my life They charged me with sedition and beat me nearly blind They gave me back my rifle put me back on the front line I will lay where with the wounded I will lay here with the dying As the sun bows out with a thousand goodbyes I miss my old Virginia, my dear old country home My wife is waiting for me and I can’t leave her alone So when with war is over I’ll go back to my field I’ll go back to my plow with a wound that doesn’t heal I will lay where with the wounded I will lay here with the dying As the sun bows out with a thousand goodbyes And it’s hardtack when I’m hungry No water when I’m dry And it does not make a difference if I live or die I will lay where with the wounded I will lay here with the dying As the sun bows out with a thousand goodbyes I unravel in this bloodshed Bodies piled so high I pray but it does nothing empty words cast in the sky I will lay where with the wounded I will lay here with the dying As the sun bows out with a thousand goodbyes
I've come to the realization that it's not worth trying to spread it. A lot of people don't get it. I've shared him and Benjamin Todd and others with many people. I've got like a 10% "hit" rate. I'm just not sure everyone can connect. Which is ok... These folks are making some of the most powerful music I've heard created in my lifetime.
And it’s hardtack when I’m hungry
No water when I’m dry
And it does not make a difference if I live or die
I will lay where with the wounded
I will lay here with the dying
As the sun bows out with a thousand goodbyes
I unravel in this bloodshed
Bodies piled so high
I pray but it does nothing empty words cast in the sky
I will lay where with the wounded
I will lay here with the dying
As the sun bows out with a thousand goodbyes
Today I lay down in the open field
Bullets pass me by and many men were killed
I’m too sick to fight I’m to tired to die
If I live to see tomorrow I doubt that I will rise
I will lay where with the wounded
I will lay here with the dying
As the sun bows out with a thousand goodbyes
I deserted at Antietam, I traveled fast and light
The posse caught up with me and almost took my life
They charged me with sedition and beat me nearly blind
They gave me back my rifle put me back on the front line
I will lay where with the wounded
I will lay here with the dying
As the sun bows out with a thousand goodbyes
I miss my old Virginia, my dear old country home
My wife is waiting for me and I can’t leave her alone
So when with war is over I’ll go back to my field
I’ll go back to my plow with a wound that doesn’t heal
I will lay where with the wounded
I will lay here with the dying
As the sun bows out with a thousand goodbyes
And it’s hardtack when I’m hungry
No water when I’m dry
And it does not make a difference if I live or die
I will lay where with the wounded
I will lay here with the dying
As the sun bows out with a thousand goodbyes
I unravel in this bloodshed
Bodies piled so high
I pray but it does nothing empty words cast in the sky
I will lay where with the wounded
I will lay here with the dying
As the sun bows out with a thousand goodbyes
my favorite artist hands down
I wish I could get this on ITunes. And now you can. This song stirs my blood like almost none other I have ever heard
Saw this live last night in Atlanta Georgia on my birthday.
Thanks for putting this up. I wish him and other similar folks could get their names a little wider spread.
