Lyrics:
Near 1859 I was pushing coal in a Virginia mine [I was home] The kids was gone Some killed by the shotgun blast Well my name's Henry James Young [And I was born in 1821 Raised in want Attending crying eye of the poor] Well John Brown stood at my stead's gate Preaching blood shed hate His own son is gone And he stood alone crying We must stop this now Well I signed on for the [ ] Laid down my pick and with my own pay I bought a gun And I left my home and I kissed my wife goodbye The sun set on an ammo store we were headed We were short Stormed the post Then we snapped the bolts and cried on They pressed The ol' captain John raised his carbine high [ ] He slid down his side They raised alarm Then the soldiers swarmed Four times the number of us Captain John I want to take my life home with me So I knelt down to take my aim And my sides burst [ gave way] My unfired gun It lay on the ground My blood colored like the coal Captain John I want to take my life home with me Captain John knelt over me And touched my head Spoke softly, said You be strong Well we have nearly won And he held my bloody hand in his Captain John I want to take my life home with me Tell my wife [ ] I surely do not want to die But we all must go And this I know We'll all die Before the cause is done Captain John I want to take my life home with me So captain John went on alone And he carried with him my new gun My last sound, it's initial round And a soldier falls with me Captain John I want to take my life home with me Captain John I want to take my life home with me
