‘Twas at the Seige of Vicksburg,
Of Vicksburg, of Vicksburg,
‘Twas at the Seige of Vicksburg,
When the Parrott shells were whistlin’ through the air!
CHORUS
Listen to the Parrott shells!
Listen to the Parrott shells!
The Parrott shells are whistlin’ through the air!
Listen to the Parrott shells!
Listen to the Parrott shells!
The Parrott shells are whistlin’ through the air!
Oh, well will we remember
Remember, remember,
Tough mule meat, June sans November,
And the minie-balls that whistled through the air!
CHORUS
Listen to the minie-balls!
Listen to the minie-balls!
The minie-balls are singing in the air!
Listen to the minie-balls!
Listen to the minie-balls!
The minie-balls are singing in the air!
