Lyrics Johnny Rebel - Mike Kennedy

Soldier boy, soldier boy, born in Alabam'
Raised to be a carpenter, just working with his hands
Met a girl, married her, loved with all his heart
Never thought he'd see the day when they'd be far apart

Johnny rebel's gone to war
Never had a gun before
Don't know what he's fighting for
Or what he means to do
Johnny rebel said goodbye
And his wife began to cry
Will he live or will he die?
It all depends on you

Mary Ann, Mary Ann, living all alone
Waiting for the day to come when Johnny marches home
Through the years and the fears, she will need him so
Every night she'll wonder why he ever had to go

Johnny rebel's gone to war
Never had a gun before
Don't know what he's fighting for
Or what he means to do
Johnny rebel said goodbye
And his wife began to cry
Will he live or will he die?
It all depends on you

Johnny rebel's gone to war
Never had a gun before
Don't know what he's fighting for
Or what he means to do
Johnny rebel said goodbye
And his wife began to cry
Will he live or will he die?
It all depends on you
Johnny rebel's gone to war
Never had a gun before
Don't know what he's fighting for
Or what he means to do
Johnny rebel said goodbye
And his wife began to cry
Will he live or will he die?
It all depends on you
