"John Paterson's Mare Goes Foremost"? (The words are about an 18th century horse race). |

22 May 13 - 12:33 AM (#3517846) Subject: Lyr Add: THE UNION MARE AND THE CONFEDERATE GREY From: Jim Dixon I can't supply the tune notation, but here are the lyrics: THE UNION MARE AND THE CONFEDERATE GREY Written by Paul Kennerley As sung by Waylon Jennings (with Jessi Coulter?) on "White Mansions" 1. Two horses were trotting; they pranced and they ran. Each one was commanded by a cavalry man. Two horses stood grazing where their dead riders lay: A Union mare and a Confederate grey. 2. They nuzzled each other as they teased and had fun. They bathed in the warm rays of the old southern sun. No more senseless orders for them to obey, So they acted like lovers, this mare and this grey. 3. Now these are such sad times that we're all living in, For killing you brother is the mightiest sin. How happy we'd be if we acted the way Of the Union mare and the Confederate grey. Repeat 1. |
