ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON'S MEN



We are Albert Sidney Johnston's men!
We know we'll not be back again
Along this way we travel in.
It's Hee Foot; Haw Foot;
Hay Foot; Straw Foot;
We know no other way to win
Than know we'll not be back again!
No other way to win, Paw,
So say for me, "Good-Bye, Maw"
From Albert Sidney Johnston's men.

Our Captain is our Hero.
Mr. Johston himself He's not afraid of Zero,
Of Frost, or Fire, or Freezing Rain.
He knows we'll not be back again.
So: Ding Foot, Dong Foot;
Sing Foot, Song Foot.
This war's what war has always been
Along this way we travel in.

We are Sidney Johnston's men!
We're marching where our chance is thin
The way to win has always been
Hee Foot; Haw Foot;
Hay Foot; Straw Foot.
We know we'll not be back again.
This war's what war has always been.
Good-Bye! My Paw! Good-Bye! My Maw!
Good-Bye! My Love! Good-Bye! Good-Bye.
From Albert Sidney Johnston's Men.
