I think sir the battle is over
And the young soldier lay
Down his gun i'm tired of
Running for cover, I'm certain
The battle is done for see over
There where we fought them
It's quiet for they've all gone
Away all left is the dead and
The dying, the blue lying long
Side the grave so you think the
Battle is over, and you even lay
Down your gun you carelessly
Rise from your cover, for you
Think the battle is done now
Boy hit the dirt, listen to me
For I'm still the one in command
Get flat on the ground here
Beside me, and lay your heart
To the sand can you hear the
Deafening rumble, can you feel
The trembling ground it's not
Just the horses and wagons
That make such a deafening
Sound for every shot fired had
An echo and every man killed
Wanted life there lies your friend
Jim McKinney, can you take the
News to his wife? no son the
Battle's not over, the battle has
Only begun the rest of the battle
Will cover the part that has
Blackened the sun the fight
Yet to come is not with cannon
Nor will the fight be hand to
Hand no one will regroup the
Forces, no charge will a general
Command the battle will rage
In the bosom of mother and
Sweetheart and wife brother
And sister and daughter will
Grieve for the rest of their lives
Now go ahead, rise from your
Cover, be thankful that God let
You live go fight the rest of the
Battle for those who gave all
They could give i see sir the battle's
Not over, the battle has only
Begun the rest of the battle
Will cover this part that has
Blackened the sun for though
There's no sound of the cannon
And though there's no smoke
In the sky i'm dropping the gun
And the saber and ready for
Battle am i
