Testi

We were marching down the Orange Plank Road
When the Federals first we spied
By the old Wilderness Tavern
The armies did collide
Lead began to field and whistle through the air
And the dead and dying piled up
Their blood was everywhere
In the wilderness
I was just seventeen
By far the bloody angle
Was the worst I'd ever seen
In the wilderness
We broke in disorder
And fled into the pines
Tangled in the underbrush
We couldn't find our lines
We faced them there for hours
Till it grew too dark to fight
And the groans and cries for water
Went unanswered in the night
In the wilderness
The early days of June
Lying with the dying
'Neath the green Virginia moon
In the wilderness
Where the devil tempted Christ
Lee got on the radio
And ordered up a strike
In the wilderness
So we set the woods on fire
Stopped them in their tracks
We laughed as we saw 'em running
Shot 'em in the backs
They never saw it coming
From the guns up in the trees
So we let 'em have it one more time
As they fell down to their knees
In the wilderness
I was way out in the wilderness
With the Stonewall Brigade
The captain saw my wound and said
"Son, praying ain't my trade"
Jets were roaring over
We beheld the pride of March
With hearts the size of houses
And eyes that blazed like stars
In the wilderness
The serpent wears a crown
But there were angels in the treetops
As I lay my body down
In the wilderness
I was just seventeen
By far the bloody angle
Was the worst I'd ever seen
In the wilderness
