about

The third Civil War song in my trilogy. The first two, "Harper's Ferry," and "Chickamauga" are previously published on Artifacts of Love and Semaphore.

lyrics

who'll cook your dinner now your servants have fled
who'll clean your mess who will make your bed
it won't be me though my hands are free
you can't count me among your dead
you can't get close to heaven walking around on your knees
you can't pay me to wait for this hell to freeze
so i'm leaving today there's fire in the trees
and smoke over Carolina
grandpa told me be a union man
he told me never give up the fight so I took a stand
what of you what did you do
you put the torch to the fuse and then you ran
you can't get close to heaven walking around on your knees
you can't pay me to wait for this hell to freeze
so I'm leaving today there's fire in the trees
and smoke over Carolina
where did we go all the ones you disappeared
who you marched blindfolded across the square
you can do your best pol pot, papadoc, or pinochet
we're not going anywhere
you can't get close to heaven walking around on your knees
you can't pay me to wait for this hell to freeze
so i'm leaving today there's fire in the trees
and smoke over Carolina
