Lyrics

You fought all the way
 Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
 You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
 Saw you a-marchin' with Robert E. Lee
 You held your head high tryin' to win the victory
 You fought for your folks, but you didn't die in vain
 Even tho' you lost they speak highly of your name, 'cause
 You fought all the way
 Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
 You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
 I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
 Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
 I saw the young boys as they began to fall
 You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all, but
 You fought all the way
 Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
 You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
 I saw Gen'ral Lee raise a sabre in his hand
 Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand
 You marched in the battle of the Grey and the Red
 When the cannon smoke cleared, took days to count the dead, 'cause
 You fought all the way
 Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
 You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
 When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall
 The folks thought he'd call a great vict'ry ball
 But he asked the band to play the song Dixie
 For you, Johnny Reb, and all that you believe
 Cause you fought all the way
 Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
 Yeah, you fought all the way, Johnny Reb
 You fought all the way
 Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
