I heard all them pretty girls singin? all them pretty words, and how

I heard all them pretty girls singin' all them pretty words, and how


I heard all them pretty girls singin? all them pretty words, oh wow

I heard all them pretty girls singin' all them pretty words, oh wow


Now I'm sick and broken hearted and I know what that song means now

Now I'm sick and broken-hearted, and I know what that song means now


I heard ?em sing old blues and sing about the mules and plough

I heard 'em sing old blues and sing about the mules and plough


I heard ?em sing their blues and sing about their mules and plough

I heard 'em sing their blues and sing about their mules and plough


Now I'm hardscrabble farmin? and I know what that song means now

Now I'm hardscrabble farmin', and I know what that song means now


Reveille was called and I thought about the laurel bough

Reveille was called, and I thought about the laurel bough


Reveille was called and I dreamt about the laurel bough

Reveille was called, and I dreamt about the laurel bough


My legs have both been shattered and I know what that song means now

My legs have both been shattered, and I know what that song means now


My sons have both been slaughtered and I know what that song means now

My sons have both been slaughtered, and I know what that song means now


I heard a little bird chirp and then I thought I heard a meow

I heard a little bird chirp, and then I thought I heard a meow


I heard a little bird, he chirped and then I thought I heard a meow

I heard a little bird, he chirped, and then I thought I heard a meow


But I been walking around hungry and I know what that song means now

But I've been walking around hungry, and I know what that song means now


I heard ?em sing the hymns and I heard fire and brimstone avowed

I heard 'em sing the hymns, and I heard fire and brimstone avowed


I heard ?em sing their hymns and in tongues I heard brimstone avowed

I heard 'em sing their hymns, and in tongues I heard brimstone avowed


But brother, I found the Lord and I know what that song means now

But brother, I found the Lord, and I know what that song means now


And that collection plate goes ?round and I know what that song means now

And that collection plate goes 'round, and I know what that song means now
