Some had on the Rebel Gray
Some the Union Blue
They were fathers, sons, and brothers
Men like me and you
Engaged in heavy battle
‘Til there came that cloudy draw
When silence took the battlefield
And men just stood in awe
Some say it was the cannon smoke
Some say the Northern Lights
That cast a ghostly image over Fredericksburg that night
Some say it was God’s spirit looking over the bloody *sod*
And that rainbow mist that filled the sky,
Or was it tears of God
Both sides read His holy word
And believed it in their hearts
But the common ground he’d blessed them with
Had now been torn apart
Covered by the blood they shed
So many lost their life
The fight on that Virginia hill was enough to make him cry
Some say it was the cannon smoke
Some say the Northern Lights
That cast a ghostly image over Fredericksburg that night
Some say it was God’s spirit looking over the bloody *sod*
And that rainbow mist that filled the sky,
Or was it tears of God
Some say it was the cannon smoke
Some say the Northern Lights
That cast a ghostly image over Fredericksburg that night
Some say it was God’s spirit looking over the bloody *sod*
And that rainbow mist that filled the sky,
Or was it tears of God
