billy green

attend you all good countrymen

my name is billy green

and i will tell of things i did when i was just nineteen

i helped defeat the yank invader

there can be no doubt

yet lately men forget the name of billy green

the scout

'twas on a sunday morn' in june when first we heard the sound

three thousand yankees on the road to camp below greentown

two generals

artillery and company of horse

with many rank and file afoot

they were a mighty force

says i to brother levi

well
