The Blue and The Gray (and The Red) ["Ronnie" Vocal Idea]

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse]

Mama, don't let your boys grow up to be soldiers

Once they leave your sight, they never get older

All the white headstones in rows like Georgia cotton

All them names of boys, proud, not forgotten

With a Yankee hurrah and a rebel yell

[Chorus]

I say, "Lost my way

This bloody day, lost my way"

In the blue and the gray

I say, "Lost my way

Price you pay, lost my way"

Fly your colors

But the red stained the blue and the gray

[Verse]

Mama, don't let your boys ever grow up to be soldiers

Once they leavе your sight, they never gеt older

All the white headstones in rows like Georgia cotton

All them names of boys, proud, not forgotten

With a Yankee hurrah and a rebel yell

[Chorus]

I say, "Lost my way

This bloody day, lost my way"

In the blue and the gray

I say, "Lost my way

Price you pay, lost my way"

Fly your colors

But the red stained the blue and the gray

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]

All the white headstones in rows like cotton

All the names of boys who are not forgotten

With a Yankee hurrah and a rebel yell

We once were brothers, now send each other to hell

[Chorus]

I say, "Lost my way

This bloody day, lost my way"

In the blue and the gray

I say, "Lost my way

Price you pay, lost my way"

Fly your colors, yeah

I say, "Lost my way

This bloody day, lost my way"

In the blue and the gray

I say, "Lost my way

Price you pay, lost my way"

Fly your colors

But the red stained the blue and the gray
