You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way Johnny Reb Saw you a marchin' with Robert E. Lee
You held your head high tryin' to win the victory
You fought for your folks but you didn't die in vain
Even though you lost they speak highly of your name 'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way Johnny Reb I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
I saw the young boys as they began to fall
You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all But you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way Johnny Reb I saw General Lee raise a saber in his hand
Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand
You marched into battle with the Grey and the Red
When the cannon smoke cleared it took days to count the dead 'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way Johnny Reb When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall
The folks thought he'd call a great victory ball
But he asked the band to play the song Dixie
For you Johnny Reb and all that you believed 'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Yeah you fought all the way Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way Johnny Reb You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Yeah you fought all the way Johnny Reb
