June of 1864
Captured by the rebel foe
Huddled on a greyback train to Georgia
Devils knew what hell wed see
As they muzzled forth our company
Into this cage of pine
Full of miseries and terror
Whoa-oh-oh
I dream of reaching home again
Your face within my hands
Beyond these walls lies eternity
Im coming back again
God knows how or when
Ill find my way
Well live a simple life
The day I bid farewell
To Andersonville
Months have wrought us skin and bone
Therell be no exchange, we shiver cold
As the rain pours down on the poisoned ground from heaven
Here where hopes a memory
Freedom fades to reverie
Cursed to envy those whove closed their eyes forever
Whoa-oh-oh, yeah
Ill never see you face again
Hope youll understand?
Past the deadline
Lies eternity
My broken soul awaits an end to the pain
As I pass the line, may the bullet find its mark
Bid farewell to thee
And Andersonville
Ill never see your face again
Hope you understand?
Past the deadline lies eternity
No coming back again, an end to the pain
As I pass the line, may the bullet find its mark
Bid farewell to you
And Andersonville
