Young Johnny's father ploughs the fields back on the farm
It gets harder ... day by day
Tries his best to keep the other kids from harm
Since their mother went away
V2
It was in summer that the sergeant came around
The worst news they'd ... ever heard
About some battle in a Pennsylvania town
And John was lost at Gettysburg

"It's all ... my ... fault", said the general
"Why you lie there in the dirt
It's all ... my ... fault, you gave it all
You sons of Gettysburg."

They dug some holes right there and laid them bodies out
Every corn fed ... boy the same
Without a word they were delivered to the ground
No marker for their name
V4
John's mother left for Gettysburg and she's still there today
All around those ...fields she roams
From the Round Tops to McPherson's and down the Brickyard Lane
Til she brings her boy back home
Ch.
"And it's all ... my ... fault", said the general
"Why you lie there in the dirt
It's all ... my ... fault", you gave it all
You sons of Gettysburg."

Now the generals pass through the battle stained grass
While the blood still dries upon the sword
And the women moan as they search through the bones
For the sons of Gettysburg
Ch.
"And it's all ... my ... fault", said the general
"Why you lie there in the dirt
It's all ... my ... fault", you gave it all
You sons of Gettysburg."
