about

A fictional imagining of the deserter who would eventually make it to Hickory but not all the way to Kansas.

lyrics

Hey there boys, we’re the Carolina infantry
It don’t care about you, it don’t care about me
Promised a dollar, haven’t see a dime
And I should do it for Dixie? Well, ain't that fine

Hey there boys, I don’t know if you’ve heard
This road we’re on goes to Fredericksburg
I’m tired of the cold, and of sleeping in the corn
I’d sell my boots to eat something warm

Don’t you hear that whip-poor-will call?
He’s singing our names as the evening falls
And I feel it, deep down in my bones
That we’re never going to make it home

All the girls want a man in gray
I believe that’s what those posters say
All the girls want a man in gray

Hey there boys, it’s a free state in Kansas
We could light out now, take out chances
Don’t worry about JEB, Jackson, or Lee
They won’t miss us much I guarantee

Don’t you hear that whip-poor-will call?
He’s singing our names as the evening falls
And I feel it, deep down in my bones
That we’re never going to make it home

All the girls want a man in gray
I believe that’s what those posters say
All the girls want a man in gray
