lyrics

Never a day spent with never a tear
but she could stare down a rabid dog
with never a fear
and every night she sets the table with whiskey and beer
to her sons who died for the Union.
to her sons who died for the Union.

Alone one night, her sons knocked on her door.
but when she offered them drink,
they drank spirits no more
instead they plead with their mother
for a taste of revenge
so they all drank the blood of Confederate men
to her sons who died for the Union

Fingernails stained, beards dripping red
and all that guilt on their conscious
flows through the holes in their heads
and they'll walk back to Antietam
to make their dirt beds
to her sons who died for the Union
to her sons who died for the Union
