Subject: Lyr Add: BUCKLAND RACES
There are a few sets of lyrics to several of the tunes popular during the era. Does this one work?
Buckland Races
On a march with Master Lee
In October sixty-three
With the tears of Bristoe Station in our eyes
Took a turn at Centerville
Made a stand at Buckland Mills
Where the "Rebel yell" rose upward to the skies
Chorus:
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!
The Buckland Races;
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!
The day is won!
Drink a health to General Stuart
And the Rebel boys who knew it
Sent Kilpatrick and his Yankees on the run!
On the road to Warrenton
Stuart's battle plans begun:
Sheild the rebels at Manassas on the move
At a place called Chestnut Hill
Drew the Yankees there to kill
And we sent the rest a runnin' ballyhoo
Chorus:
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!
The Buckland Races;
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!
The day is won!
Drink a health to General Stuart
And the Rebel boys who knew it
Sent Kilpatrick and his Yankees on the run!
{repeat chorus}
