Jackson in the Valley
T'was back in the Summer of '61
Stonewall Jackson's fame was won
McDowell marched across Bull Run
And went back running to Washington
Come the Spring of '62
Down the Valley Ol' Blue Light flew
At Kernstown there he picked a fight
And gave Old Abe' a fearsome fright
Rebels in the Valley, Lincoln cries Alarm
Jackson's in the Valley‚ all fear to his harm
Jackson's in the Valley‚ Stonewall is on the loose
Jackson's in the Valley‚ all hell's a'breaking loose
Down the Valley and back again
Stonewall's boys did fight win
For two long months and maybe more
We marched, and we fought, then we marched some more
Now we'll raise a rebel yell
And we'll send them Yankees straight to hell
We'll give them grape shot‚ buck, and ball
We'll march and we'll fight for old Stonewall
We'll march even though our feet are torn
And it's true our clothes are worn
Still we'll keep our muskets primed
For Stonewall's army is full of fight
Banks and Shields, and Freemont too
From our Valley they all withdrew
Jackson swept the Valley clear
And now he marches on McClellan's rear
Jackson's in the Valley‚ Stonewall is on the loose
Jackson's in the Valley, all hell's a'breaking loose
Jackson's in the Valley, Stonewall is on the loose
Jackson's in the Valley, all hell's a'breaking loose
