1
From this day on I own my father's gun
2
We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun
3
I laid his broken body down beneath the Southern land
4
It wouldn't do to bury him where any Yankee stands
5
I'll take my horse and I'll ride the northern plain
6
To wear the color of the greys and join the fight again
7
I'll not rest until I know the cause is fought and won
8
From this day on until I die I'll wear my father's gun
9
[Chorus]
10
I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
11
To New Orleans well that's just fine alright
12
Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men
13
So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
14
As soon as this is over we'll go home
15
To plant the seeds of justice in our bones
16
To watch the children growing and see the women sewing
17
There'll be laughter when the bells of freedom ring
18
[Chorus]
