The Outlaws (Southern Rock Band) - Cold Harbor lyrics

It wasn't far from Richmond The second day of June The year was 1864 The end was closin' soon A long and bitter struggle For the boys in blue and gray The battle of Cold Harbor Was only hours away I woke up long before the sun Cut through the morning sky Wondered as I lay there Was this my time to die Somewhere through the darkness The Union fires glowed A distant bugle's reveille Was playing soft and low Oh oh, Cold Harbor The battle line was drawn Through the heart of Dixie The thrill of war was gone Rebel flag was faded Waved it far too longed Oh, Cold Harbor The last of the proud Will carry on The morning shook like thunder As through the smoke they came Heavy guns and the musket fire Were pouring down like rain In just one half an hour Ten thousand Federals died My blood ran cold to watch'em fall I closed my eyes and fired Oh oh, Cold Harbor The battle line was drawn Through the heart of Dixie The thrill of war was gone Rebel flag was faded Waved it far too longed Oh, Cold Harbor The last of the proud Will carry on Yeah Whoa oh oh, Cold Harbor The battle lines was drawn Through the heart of Dixie (Through the heart of Dixie) The thrill of war was gone Our Rebel flag was faded We waved it far too long (Far too long) Oh, Cold Harbor The last of the proud (The last of the proud) Will carry on Carry on
