Green Eyed Gal

Lyrics

And I was born down in Georgia
 Lonely gator cry was my lullaby
 And we met in graveyard on a foggy Winter mornin'
 And I was yours, and you were mine
 Oh, and where have you gone my green-eyed gal?
 I remember you stated the way that it felt.
 Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell,
 And I taste blood and death on my trail.
 And we wed in the springtime
 And she wore flowers in her hair,
 And I swear I'll never leave you babe
 But the War called my name and I did leave, you remained
 Oh, and where have you gone my green-eyed gal?
 I remember you stated the way that it felt
 Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell
 And I taste blood and death on my trail
 And bullets flyin' through the grey sky
 And I lay broken on the cold Virginia ground
 And I don't know how I got here, LORD
 I thought I's back in Georgia, starin' in my darlin's eyes
 Oh, and where have you gone my green-eyed gal?
 I remember you stated the way that it felt.
 Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell,
 And I taste blood and death on my trail.
 The Union army left our bodies
 And I heard cryin' and I crew: "Mercy, LORD!"
 Looked my breast pocket, found a torn photo of you,
 And I did pass into a lonesome tune
 Oh, and where have you gone my green-eyed gal?
 I remember you stated the way that it felt.
 Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell,
 And I taste blood and death on my trail.
 Oh, and when I am gone, remember me well.
