My Father's Gun - Rhythm On The Radio
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 colour of the
greys and join the fight again
And I'll 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 fightin' 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 growin'
and see the women sewin'
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 fightin' there
and the company needs men
