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

Really cool Kenny!! You have such a great style, musically and lyrically. This song brings home the suffering and destruction of war. I thought it was really interesting the way you changed the chords on the second time through-kind of unresolved emotion. Great stuff! Take care. Greg

Kenny, nice image filled write, vocal and production. I like that held bass -- something I did every now and then during my bluegrass years.
It is a very well done story song that has it all. Vivid imagery, sparse but effective backing tracks and a heartfelt vocal.
We like it!

Good song, I really did enjoy the lyrics. Nice. Thanks Video Track, I appreciate the kind words always. I'm so glad that you commented, I was afraid that my little song with the odd title was gonna fall off page one without being noticed! and then what? thank goodness, the international crew came to my rescue, two Australians and a German. Thanks so much gentlemen, my faith is restored. Kenny

Hey Bud and Janice, You might have noticed that the song was written in 2012, I dug it out and kinda thought of you Bud and my Georgia roots, if you remember we touched on it briefly after I posted Macon Lights that I mentioned that my Dad was from there and I was born there and lived in GA. until my teens. I've always been kind of a history buff and this idea of what happened just a couple of generations before mine right here to civilians authorized by the American government to break the backbone of the South just felt very natural for me to write about. So, I dusted off an old piano arrangement and gave it a new better set of clothes to wear. I was very looking forward to your comments and I am not disappointed. If you guys ever come up to PA, would love to take you on Gettysburg tour. Kenny

Absolutely outstanding Kenny! One of your best imo. The lyrics are super, your voice and the arrangement are terrific. One of the best civil war songs I've heard.
Love it!
