When the smoke has cleared
And the battle is done
When the ones we feared
Have turned and run
We’ll head southward, homeward
Back to the Land of Lee
Back to our future
Back to what used to be
When the cannon has fired
On the Northerner’s sons
And we’ve avenged all the men
That we lost at Bull Run
We’ll go southbound
To sure ground
To replant the dying tree
Back to our future
Back to what used to be
Bridge:
When we’re marching off
Of this Gettysburg plain
When the victory is finally ours
We will bury our brave
In the warm southern rain
In the soil under stars and bars
‘Cos if God’s on our side
Like the general said
We have nothing to fear
We’ll live on when we’re dead
And the guns we once fired
Heal the wounds that once bled
We’ll go southbound
To our ground
Back to the Land of Lee
We’ll go back to our future
Back to what used to be
