Lyrics

'Tis old Stonewall, the Rebel, that leans on that sword
And while we are mounting, prays low to the Lord
Now each cavalier that loves honor and right
Let him follow the feather of Stuart tonight
Come tighten your girth and slacken your rein
Come buckle your blanket and holster again
Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
For he must ride sure that goes Ridin' A Raid
Now gallop, now gallop, to swim or to ford
Old Stonewall, still watchin', prays low to the Lord
Good-bye, dear old Rebel! The river's not wide
And Maryland's lights in her window to guide
Come tighten your girth and slacken your rein
Come buckle your blanket and holster again
Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
For he must ride sure that goes Ridin' A Raid
There's a man in the White House with blood on his mouth!
If there's knaves in the North, there are braves in the South
We are three thousand horses and not one afraid
We are three thousand sabers and not a dull blade!
Come tighten your girth and slacken your rein
Come buckle your blanket and holster again
Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
For he must ride sure that goes Ridin' A Raid
