When at Wagner I was captured, Then my courage failed; Now I'm dirty, hungry, naked, Here in Charleston jail. cho: Weeping, sad and lonely, Oh, how bad I feel! Down in Charleston, South Carolina, Praying for a good square meal. If Jeff Davis will release me, Oh, how glad I'll be! When I get to Morris lsland, Then I shall be free. Then I'll tell those conscript soldiers How they use us here : Giving us an old corn-dodger, They call it prisoners' fare. cho: We are longing, watching, praying, But will not repine, Till Jeff Davis does release us, And send us in our lines. Then with words of klnd affection How they'll greet us there ! Wondering how we could live so long Upon the dodger fare. final chorus: Then we will laugh, long and loudly. Oh, how glad we'll feel When we arrive on Morris lsland And eat a good square meal! Note: Composed by Sergeant Johnson of the 54 Massachussetts (colored) Infantry while prisoners in a Charleston military prison. Parody of When this Cruel War is Over. @war @America @Civil @prisoner @food @bitching @army filename[WHENOVR2 play.exe WHENOVER RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Dreadful Memories, Dreadnaught, Dreary Black Hills, Dremlen Feygl Drowsing Birds, Drill Ye Tarriers Drill, Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes, Drive Dull Care Away, Drive Sorrows Away, Driving Saw Logs On The Plover, Drop Your Nets, Dropkick Me Jesus Through The Goalposts Of Life, Drummer Boy, Drunkard, Drunkards Child, Drunkards Dream, Drunken Hiccoughs, Drunken Maidens, Drunken Sailor, Dublin City, Dublin Lady, Dumb Dumb Dumb, Dumbartons Drums, Dummy Line, Dump The Bosses Off Your Back, Dunderbeck, Durham Lockout, Dutchman, Dwelling In Beulah Land, Dying Airman, Dying British Sergeant, Dying Californian, Dying Hobo, Dying Pilot, Early One Morning, East Virginia, Eastern Wind, Eat Berthas Mussels, Eat Worms, Ebenezer, Ecuador Native Anthem Text, Eddystone Light, Eden Was Just Like This, Edmund Fitzgerald, Edmund Of The Hill Ned Of The Hill, Edward Ballad, Edward In The Lowlands, Egypt Anthem Text, Egyptian Ella, Eileen Aroon, El Paso, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
