Fairwell Captain lyrics

Chorus: Farewell to you, captain, the bravest in command. goodbye to all The soldiers who didn't give a damn For we're goin' back to richmond, buddy, leavin' here today. Gonna sell our rifles for a jug and get drunk along the way. 'twas in virginia harbor gen'ral parker disappeared, tied Sleeping soundly to a tree. How we wept as we launched him and so cheerfully we cheered as The gen'ral drifted slowly out to sea. (chorus) At the battle of manasses, i had my certain chance to bravely Fight the red and white and blue. I was so blasted brave i stuck branches in my pants and, yes, i Played a tree 'til it was through. Please don't think that we are cowards. what a horrible Suggestion! it's just that we don't feel that we belong. Bobby misses his dear mother, john has acid indigestion and i Think i feel a migraine coming on. (chorus) Farewell to you, captain, we're goin' to leave you now
