lirik lagu charlie parr - henry young's body
near 1859
i was pushing coal in a virginia mine
[i was home]
the kids was gone
some k!lled by the shotgun blast
well my name’s henry james young
[and i was born in 1821
raised in want
attending crying eye of the poor]
well john brown stood at my stead’s gate
preaching blood shed hate
his own son is gone
and he stood alone crying
we must stop this now
well i signed on for the [ ]
laid down my pick and with my own pay
i bought a gun
and i left my home and i kissed my wife goodbye
the sun set on an ammo store we were headed
we were short
stormed the post
then we snapped the bolts and cried on
they pressed
the ol’ captain john raised his carbine high
[ ]
he slid down his side
they raised alarm
then the soldiers swarmed
four times the number of us
captain john
i want to take my life home with me
so i knelt down to take my aim
and my sides burst
[ gave way]
my unfired gun
it lay on the ground
my blood colored like the coal
captain john
i want to take my life home with me
captain john knelt over me
and touched my head
spoke softly, said
you be strong
well we have nearly won
and he held my bl–dy hand in his
captain john
i want to take my life home with me
tell my wife
[ ]
i surely do not want to die
but we all must go
and this i know
we’ll all die
before the cause is done
captain john
i want to take my life home with me
so captain john went on alone
and he carried with him my new gun
my last sound, it’s initial round
and a soldier falls with me
captain john
i want to take my life home with me
captain john
i want to take my life home with me
