I LEFT MY HOME IN CAROLINE I LEFT MY ANNA LEE

TO FIGHT FOR WHAT I KNOW IS RIGHT AND KEEP OLE DIXIE FREE.

I'M IN THE FIRST NORTH CAROLINE CONFEDERATE CAVALRY

UNDER OLE JEB STUART - A. COMPANY

 

CHORUS

FIRST NORTH CAROLINE CONFEDERATE CAVALRY

LET'S DRINK TO OLE JEB STUART - AND TOMORROW'S VICTORY.

 

THEY'LL BE OUT THERE WHEN THE MORNING COMES TWENTY THOUSAND STRONG

WE'VE ROLLED OUR BIG GUNS UP THE HILL - NOW WE'RE WAITING FOR THE DAWN.

JEB STUART SAYS WE'LL WAKE EM WITH A GOOD OLE REBEL YELL

THEN WE'LL RAM THOSE CANONS DOWN THEIR THROATS AND BLOW EM ALL TO HELL!

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

WHO KNOWS WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS OUT ON THAT BATTLE FIELD

MANY OF OUR MEN WILL DIE BUT NONE WILL EVER YIELD.

IF A BALL SHOULD STRIKE MY CHEST AND PIERCE RIGHT THROUGH THE BONE

JUST GET SOME OLE PINE LUMBER, BOX ME UP AND SEND ME HOME.

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

PLEASE END THIS CRUEL WAR OH DEAR GOD AT NIGHT THAT'S WHAT I PRAY

FRAID TO DIE I LIE AWAKE AND DREAD THE BREAK OF DAY

BUT COME THE DAWN WITH SABRES DRAWN - THAT BUGLE LOUD AND CLEAR

WILL SEND US OFF TO HELL ONCE MORE WITHOUT ONE THOUGHT OF FEAR.
