My goodness, what a lament to the sorrow of war and the poor boys compelled to fight in them. That banjo expresses it perfectly.

As posted by Cliff on his original recording's video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fq-Ho7x8r6qViGg.html), here's the lyrics :) "Come all you good people wherever you may be I hope you'll pay attention and listen unto me My name don't make no difference the truth to you I'll tell I am a brave volunteer and I'm sure I wish you well At the age of sixteen I joined that army grand We left old Kentucky and we sailed to a foreign land Our captain he informed us and I'm sure he thought it right Before the morning comes boys I am sure you'll have to fight I saw them Germans coming Lord I heard them give their yell My feelings at that moment no human's tongue can tell We saw their shining rifles their bullets 'round us flew Now all my strength had left me and all my courage too Our captain stood beside me he gave me good advice He told me how to surrender so I might save my life My friend shot down beside me tears falling from my face O how I love you brother but I can't take your place We fought throughout the morning before the battle was done The dead and the dying lay under the bloody sun And when the fight was over and the Germans they had fled We laid down our rifles and counted up our dead The sun it was a setting all across that bloody plain Now all of us was wounded and our noble captain slain, And then I thought of mother who asked me for to stay And not to go with strangers and sail so far away I've been in the midst of battle I know its harshness well I've been across that great ocean and I've road down the streets of Hell I've lived a life of misery and I've been where Death he roams I'll tell you from experience boys you had better stay at home."

All right. What's up this song is sick. But I had a question. Or statement whatever. I just noticed that some of the lyrics you were singing we're the same from the Tex Ritter song Texas Rangers. I always liked how old time music and Old Country snag a line or two from other people's songs
