Red, White, Blue and Grey (hymn), Drunken Ira Hayes

THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE AND GREY

The Chuck Wagon Gang

Billy Joe and Johnny, both went off to war
While I was much to young, to shoot and ride
Billy went with Sherman, Johnny went with Lee
Left me and mama praying to both sides

Mama said don't worry, we're all in God's hands
And He knows what war is all about
She said He'd let us battle, for awhile then take command For in His eyes there is no North or South

(Chorus) Mother do you know where your sons are tonight
Do you know where they're fighting today
One sings Glory, Glory, One sings Look Away
For the Red, White and Blue and Grey

The war was finally over, and my brothers were no more
But mama's faith in God was just as strong
She said there'll be no fighting over on the other shore
So He took Billy Joe and Johnny home

(Chorus) Mother now you know where your sons are tonight
You know they're not fighting today
They're singing Glory, Glory,
And they're singing Look Away
For the Red, White and Blue and Grey

Mother now you know where your boys are tonight
You know they're not fighting today
They're singing Glory, Glory
And they're singing Look Away
For the Red, White and Blue and Grey

Glory, Glory Hallelujah Glory, Glory Hallelujah
Glory, Glory Hallelujah
For the Red, White and Blue and Grey
