My Father’s Gun Lyrics

From This Day On I Own
My Father’s Gun
We Dug His Shallow Grave
Beneath The Sun
I Laid His Broken Body Down
Below The Southern Land
It Wouldn’t Do To Bury Him
Where Any Yankee Stands

I’ll Take My Horse And
I’ll Ride The Northern Plain
To Wear The Color Of The
Greys And Join The Fight Again
I’ll Not Rest Until I Know
The Cause Is Fought And Won
From This Day On Until
I Die I’ll Wear My Father’s Gun

I’d Like To Know Where The
Riverboat Sails Tonight
To New Orleans Well That’s
Just Fine Alright
’cause There’s Fighting
There And The Company Needs Men
So Slip Us A Rope And Sail
On Round The Bend

As Soon As This Is Over
We’ll Go Home
To Plant The Seeds Of
Justice In Our Bones
To Watch The Children
Growing And See The
Women Sewing
There’ll Be Laughter When
The Bells Of Freedom Ring

I’d Like To Know Where
The Riverboat Sails Tonight
To New Orleans Well That’s
Just Fine Alright
’cause There’s Fighting There
And The Company Needs Men
All I Said, All I Said, Slip
Us A Rope And Sail On Round The Bend

I’d Like To Know Where The
Riverboat Sails Tonight
To New Orleans Well That’s
Just Fine Alright
’cause There’s Fighting There
And The Company Needs Men
All I Said, All I Said,
Slip Us A Rope And Sail
On Round The Bend, Oh

I’d Like To Know Where The Riverboat,
The Riverboat Sails Tonight
To New Orleans Well That’s
Just Fine Alright
’cause There’s Fighting There
And The Company Needs Men
All I Said, All I Said,
Slip Us A Rope And Sail
On Round The Bend

I’d Like To Know Where The Riverboat,
The Riverboat, The Riverboat Sails Tonight
To New Orleans Well That’s Just Fine,
That’s Just Fine Alright
’cause There’s Fighting There
And The Company Needs Men
All I Said Is Slip Us A Rope And
Sail On Round The Bend

I’d Like To Know Where The
Riverboat Sails Tonight
To New Orleans Well That’s
Just Fine, That’s Just Fine Alright
’cause There’s Fighting There
And The Company Needs Men
All I Said, All I Said,
Slip Us A Rope And Sail
On Round The Bend

Riverboat Sails Tonight
That’s Just Fine, Alright
Ah Ah Ah Ah
Slip Us A Rope, Sail,
Sail Around, Sail Around The Bend
Riverboat Sails Tonight
