Antietam The guns have fallen silent no blood on the ground. Attend to the injured their wounds have been bound. Many a widow have tended the graves. Don't take me back to Antietam again. Chorus So cry out poor Johnny for mother to come. Then beg the lord for his mercy. Lay down your musket and try not cry Now drink ye some water for your thirsty Bridge I'll canter the blue roan along valleys and tracks. I'll ride among willows and never look back. Not march to the drum beat with dead all around. Don't take me back to . So cry out poor Johnny for mother to come. Then beg the lord for his mercy. Lay down your musket and try not cry Now drink ye some water for your thirsty Now drink ye some water for your thirsty **** Song Summary ********* Title: guns File:Poor Johnny.SGU Key=D , Tempo 110, Length (m:s)=2:30 4 bar intro, 84 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 88.

I'd never heard of Antietam so I looked it up on Wikipedia. The alternative name "Battle of Sharpsburg" rings a distant memory bell from secondary school history class. Good job My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Nicely done! -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

It has a haunting, bleak quality to it that makes it captivating, for me personally. I'm pretty rusty on my Civil War knowledge (they don't really teach that in the Canadian curriculum) so I had to Google what Antietam was to properly understand the context here. I wouldn't change a thing on this one - thanks so much for sharing Cheers, Deryk

It would make a wonderful track for a CW film. String production all the way around! J&B PS We are both Civil War buffs and if Johnny happens to be "Johnny Reb" then he would call the battle Sharpsburg. But then he might well be a yank The old Billy Yank / Johnny Reb shows up in a lot of our research...found the usage in letter and diaries. Janice on Spotify J&B Soundcloud J&B Website

MarioD Veteran Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 21,024 Hamlin NY	I have been to Antietam, seen the battle fields and read the literature about that battle (it was the bloodiest day in American history)and your song accurately describes the pain and suffering that occurred there. The sparse arrangement to your spoken work is perfect. My brother is an expert on the Civil War. If you ever get over here we will have to get together with him. My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

I THINK you might be well served swapping the spelling from tendered to tended but you may have an interpretation or definition that is canetoad rather than cockroach. WELL done.
