Matthew

England Dan and John Ford Coley - Matthew Intro: Matthew crossed the river on his horse Said, "This bullet in my side is getting worse" Called in to fight without a choice We were just too weak to move We got nothing left to prove And I, I, I just want to go home Martha's alone And I, I, I just want to go home I've been gone too long, too long Fever started dragging Matthew down And I hope we find a doctor or a town Today we left good people on the ground They were just too weak to move We got nothing left to prove And I, I, I just want to go home Martha's alone And I, I, I just want to go home I've been gone too long, too long Bridge: Well they hit us in the morning And cannon balls made us all go down They hit us in the morning And the cannon balls scared us half to death Never felt so scared__ INTERLUDE: I have seen all that I can stand And the cotton's burning black throughout our land Had Matthew been a wiser man We were just too weak to move We got nothing left to prove And I, I, I just want to go home Martha's alone And I, I, I just want to go home I've been gone too long, too long
