[Chorus] You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb (yeah) You fought all the way Johnny Reb [Verse 1] Saw you were marching With Robert E. Lee You held your head high Trying to win the victory You fought for yourfolks Butyoudidn't die invain Even though youlost They speak highly of your name [Chorus] You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb (yeah) You fought all the way Johnny Reb [Verse 2] 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 But you couldn't help it, no [Chorus] But you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb (yeah) You fought all the way Johnny Reb [Verse 3] I saw General Lee Raise a saber in his hands Heard the cannons roar As you made your last stand You marched in the battle With the gray and the red When the cannon smoke cleared Took days to count the dead [Chorus] 'Cos you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb (yeah) You fought all the way Johnny Reb [Verse 4] When Honest Abe Heard the news about your fall The folks thought he'd call A great victory ball But he asked the band To play the song 'Dixie' For you, Johnny Reb And all that you believed [Chorus] Oh, 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 (yeah) You fought all the way Johnny Reb
