I am but a simple man. I got no command of the written word. I can only try and tell you all the things Ive seen and heard. So listen to the picture forever etched on my mind. The day that hell broke loose just North of Marietta all along the Kennesaw line.The day that hell broke loose just North of Marietta all along the Kennesaw line. The sun rose high above us that morning on a clear and cloudless day. The Pecker wood taps on the tree, he'll soon be shot away. Heat blistered down through the leaves on the trees. The air seemed hot enough to catch fire. The heavens seemed to be made of brass as the sun rose higher and higher.Everything got real still and quiet. My old mess mate Walter Hood. He said Sam I believe them yanks down there are up to something, and I know it ain't no damn good. Well the storm broke and it swept down on us. It rumbled through the hills. Walter sighed, then he dropped his rifle. He said something to me about a Whippoorwill. He said Sammie cant you hear I'm singing, singing for you and me, and all the Maury Greys, Lord carry me back to Tennessee. God Bless the first and the twenty-seventh, and the Grand Rock City guards. Nobody ever told me ohhhh.. dying would be so hard. Sam I think I been hurt real bad. Ain't this one hell of a day. You better go and leave me now, I think I need some time to pray. You know how bad I been wanting to go home, but I couldn't see rightly how. Old Colonel Field ain't gonna have no choice this time. I think I'll get my furlough now. Don't ya tell me that you cant hear em' singing for you and me. No Maury Grays, Lord carry me back to Tennessee. Tennessee... I told you I'm just a simple man. I got no command of the written word.
