Lyrics

Well, We fought and died At Gettysburg
Heard the Cannon's fire through Antietam's mist
Heard the Burning Cries
Of Our Fellow Comrades at The Battle of the Wilderness
Well, When we finally laid down are long, rifles and arms
We Thought we'd be going Home
But, we didn't realize it yet
Of the hell that awaited us All...

And, then we were forced to march
Under, the Hot, Georgia Sun
And we dug more graves,
Than I thought could be dug
And , When reached the State's Prison's gates

We heard the loud, screaming , Yell...
And The Ghost's said, Welcome

We heard the loud, screaming , Yell...
And The Ghost's said, Welcome
Wecome...to Andersonville
And the Ghosts', said Welcome...
Welcome, To Andersonville...

We dies the Thousands
Of Starvation ,disease and mal-nutrtrion

Ad in the middle of the Night
We heard the slow, steady Yell...


We heard the loud, screaming , Yell...
And The Ghost's said, Welcome
Wecome...to Andersonville
And the Ghosts', said Welcome...
Welcome, To Andersonville..

We heard the loud, screaming , Yell...
And The Ghost's said, Welcome
Wecome...to Andersonville
And the Ghosts', said Welcome...
Welcome, To Andersonville..
