But I left my old Magnolia my daddy's rusty gun
My momma tried to hold me there said I'm her only son
We hit'em hard in Memphis four Yankees to our one
But slowly all my kinfolk died and nwo I'm on the run
I hear the gunboats thunder
With voices on the deck
And candle lights from Memphis
Make a thousand tiny specks
I'm hungry as a gator
As I wait here in the cold
There's something in the stars that say
I'll die before I'm old
But I left my old Magnolia my daddy's rusty gun
My momma tried to hold me there said I'm her only son
We hit'em hard in Memphis four Yankees to our one
But slowly all my kinfolk died and now I'm on the run
Waaaaaaaahhh!!
Yeowp! Yeowp!
But I left my old Magnolia my daddy's rusty gun
My momma tried to hold me there said I'm her only son
We hit'em hard in Memphis four Yankees to our one
But slowly all my kinfolk died and now I'm on the run
If I get off this sand bar I'm shovin' it to the South
I'll swim this mighty river
Till it spits me from its mouth
There ain't no Rebel livin'
Thats shiverin' like this
I'm wishin' for my home
Back down in Southern Miss
But I left my old Magnolia my daddy's rusty gun
My momma tried to hold me there said I'm her only son
We hit'em hard in Memphis four Yankees to our one
But slowly all my kinfolk died and now I'm on the run
