The songs of the mockingbirds carry
Through the sweet gum and the pines
As the sun brings another Georgia morning
And the heat of the summer time

When I was young and foolish
And anxious for this war
Left my loved ones safely far behind
But they ain’t safe no more

We’ll die trying to stop them
From taking everything
Fires in the distance
So we know the Devil’s near
Judgement Day is on us now
General Sherman’s here

Our regiment was shattered
And I tried to walk away
But this rich man’s war has followed me
And left me with no say

They came south from Chattanooga
One hundred thousand strong
John Bell Hood can’t hold em back
Not for very long

We’ll die trying to stop them
From taking everything
Seen the fires in the distance
So we know the Devil’s near
Judgement Day is on us now
General Sherman’s here
A bloody day of reckoning
General Sherman’s here
