KENTUCKY ORDINANCE OF SECESSION
Kentucky Battle Song Version 2
|
|
Found this on a website, Tennessee and sw Kentucky based. For those of you that just learned the words to The Kentucky Battle Song, there are some variations.
Song of the 1st Kentucky Regiment
In the sunny month of May
We left our native land
For we would not send our spirits
to a tryrants stern command
And we went to old Virginia
When our hearts were sand and sore
But we shed our blood for freedom
As our fathers did of yore
Chorus:
Oh we march, march, march
To the music of the drum
We are driven forth in exile
From our old Kentucky home
When first the Southern flag unfurled
Its folds upon the air
Its stars had hardly glittered
When Kentucky sons were there
And they swore a solumn oath
As they sternly gathered round
They would only die as free men
On the dark and bloody ground
Chorus:
Catherine Edwards found this paper in among the 1800's letters of her great-grandmother, Josephine Adaliade "Addie" Jones Wilkins Crisp,who lived in Gibson Co., Tenn. most of her life.
