Also any suggestions about chords would be appreciated. DRUMMER BOY sung by Willie Norton CHORUS: He's going off to be a drummer boy He's going off to be a drummer boy Going off to be a drummer boy He's fighting with the Union plan His brother is of a different opinion His brother 's wearing grey This war ain't done nothing but divide this country in two Well, they say this weren't about slavery One thing you best understand This war 's about the federation and their union plan If the union wins this war, the land will never be the same No matter black or white, we'll live in economic chains Well there used to be four ----- on the farm No ------ where I used to work Some were black and some were white But we all dug in that dirt When the evening came around we'd sit around the open flame Play a fiddle and guitar - To the good Lord we'd sing Ain't no crops in the field, there ain't no crops no more Only tombstones growing there and that's due to this war Well one thing 'bout slavery and that I understand Just 'cos a man ain't wearing chains Don't make him less than a man Man was born oh yeah (?) Man was born to be free Just like he takes a stand, just like my brothers and me |

He's going off to be a drummer boy, Going off to be a drummer boy. He's fighting with the Union Plan. His brother is no different opinion. His brother is wearing grey. This war ain't done nothing but Divide this country in two. CHORUS Well, they say this weren't about slavery. One thing you best understand. This war's about the federation and their union plan. If the union wins this war, the land never be the same. No matter black or white, we'll live in economic chains. CHORUS Well there used to be four felony on the farm, No one where I used to work. Some are black and some are white, But we all dug in that dirt. When the evening came around, We'd sit around the open flame, Play a fiddle and guitar To the good Lord we'd sing: CHORUS Ain't no crops in the field, There ain't no crops no more, Only tombstones growing there, And that's due to this war. CHORUS *INSTUMENTAL* Well one thing 'bout slavery And that I understand Just 'cos a man ain't wearing chains Don't make him less than a man. Man was born, oh yeahhhhh, Man was born to be free, Just like he'd take a stand, Just like my brothers and me. CHORUS Any questions just ask? |
