As posted by Cliff on his original recording's video (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HIWpYKJD1X4.html), here's the lyrics :) "Come all you good people wherever you may be I hope you'll pay attention and listen unto me My name don't make no difference the truth to you I'll tell I am a brave volunteer and I'm sure I wish you well At the age of sixteen I joined that army grand We left old Kentucky and we sailed to a foreign land Our captain he informed us and I'm sure he thought it right Before the morning comes boys I am sure you'll have to fight I saw them Germans coming Lord I heard them give their yell My feelings at that moment no human's tongue can tell We saw their shining rifles their bullets 'round us flew Now all my strength had left me and all my courage too Our captain stood beside me he gave me good advice He told me how to surrender so I might save my life My friend shot down beside me tears falling from my face O how I love you brother but I can't take your place We fought throughout the morning before the battle was done The dead and the dying lay under the bloody sun And when the fight was over and the Germans they had fled We laid down our rifles and counted up our dead The sun it was a setting all across that bloody plain Now all of us was wounded and our noble captain slain, And then I thought of mother who asked me for to stay And not to go with strangers and sail so far away I've been in the midst of battle I know its harshness well I've been across that great ocean and I've road down the streets of Hell I've lived a life of misery and I've been where Death he roams I'll tell you from experience boys you had better stay at home."
Reminds me of those fellas that holed up in a hollow down there, dug in their boots. Collectively saying nope. No chance them going to fight some other countries fool ass war. True story, 1000%😊
Clifton I'm fairly new to the banjo, I've picked up variations of Cumberland gap and battlecry of freedom in standard tuning. Hay tuning do you perform German war in? Thanks!
All right. What's up this song is sick. But I had a question. Or statement whatever. I just noticed that some of the lyrics you were singing we're the same from the Tex Ritter song Texas Rangers. I always liked how old time music and Old Country snag a line or two from other people's songs
This them lyrics bruz Come all you good people Whom ever you may be I hope you’ll pay attention And listen on to me My name don’t make no difference But the truth to you I’ll tell I am a brave volunteer And I’m sure I wish you well At the age of 16 Hell I joined that army grand We left old Kentucky And we sailed to a foreign land Our captain he informed us And I’m sure he thought it right Before the morning comes boys I am sure you’ll have to fight Well I saw them Germans coming And I heard them give their yell My feelings at that moment No human’s tongue tell I saw their shining rifles And their bullets around me flew Now all my strength has left me And all my courage too Our captain stood beside me He gave me good advice He told me never surrender So I might save my life My friends shot down beside me Tears falling from my face Oh how I love you brother But I can’t take your place We fought through the morning Before the battle was done The dead and the dying Lay under the bloody sun And when the fight was over And the Germans they had fled We laid down our rifles And we counted up our dead Then sun it was a setting All across that bloody plain Now all of us was wounded Our noble captain slain And then I thought of mother Who asked me for to stay And not to go with strangers And sail so far away Well I’ve been in the midsts of battle And I know it’s harshness well I’ve been across that great ocean And I’ve rode down the streets of hell I’ve lived a life of misery And I’ve been where death he roams I’ll tell you from experience boys You had better stay at home
