I saw General Lee raise the saber in his hand

Heard the cannon's roar as you made your last stand

When "Honest Abe" heard the news about your fall

The folks thought he'd call a great victory ball

For you Johnny Reb and all that you believed
[Chorus]

'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb

Yeah you fought all the way Johnny Reb
