Another Side
We came up from Sheffield
And they put us on the lin
You could smell the powder burnin
And man, it hurt my eye
They knew them boys were tired and weak
We were fresh and we were stron
We could not wait to blast away
And make our presence know
But every time I took my ai
And got one in my sigh
In my heart I knew the wa
And this way was not righ
Oh, I guess my daddy would be prou
But my momma, she's ashame
And I know deep down we need a chang
Them Northern boys are friends of mine
But I've got my Southern prid
I'm standin' here a-fightin
Wishin' ther
Was another sid
We burned each other's crops and field
And took the very bes
We fought our way back and fort
Then they put us to the tes
I know that some things are wron
But what gave them the righ
To point their righteous finger
And expect us not to fight
We all cried on the night they burned Atlanta dow
How much more can we take and still stand our ground
Oh, I guess my daddy would be prou
But my momma, she's ashame
And I know deep down we need a chang
Them colored boys are friends of min
But I've got my Southern prid
I'm standin' here a-fightin
Wishin' ther
Was another sid
In four years the smoke had cleare
And I went back to the far
Little brother met me at the bridg
And he held out his arm
He was thin and weak and wounde
And dressed in Yankee blu
Well, I cried and I held hi
And together we both kne
If it could be done ove
There would be a better wa
Still one family, and one natio
Oh, but what a price we pai
I guess my daddy would be prou
But my momma, she's ashame
And I know deep down we need a chang
Now, some of them boys were friends of min
But dang this Southern prid
I'm standin' here a-cryin'
Wishin' ther
Was another sid
I'm wishin' there was another sid
Wishin' there was another side
