letra de the giant on the thunderbird - jimmy driftwood

Loading...

[verse 1]
a bunch of rebel soldiers
were sittin’ ’round one night
a-talkin’ to some yankees
in a spot way out of sight
they had slipped across the picket line
to have a little chat
a-chawin’ their tobaccer
and a-swappin’ this and that

[verse 2]
and while they were a-talkin’
they looked away up high
and saw a man a-walkin’
across the moonlit sky
he sat down on a pillow
up on a thunderhead
he looked down on the soldiers
and this is what he said
[chorus]
you yankees and you rebels
shake hands and then caress
go home and read your bible
and the gettysburg address

[verse 3]
the boys went to their bedrolls
afraid to talk out loud
about the mighty giant
they saw upon the cloud
next day, two famous generals
met near an apple tree
and one of them was u. s. grant
and one was robert lee

[verse 4]
and when they finished talking
and everybody knew
the awful war was over
they shouted, “hallelu!”
and all the people wondered
about the thunderhead
did u. s. grant and robert lee
hear what the giant said?
[chorus]
you yankees and you rebels
shake hands and then caress
go home and read your bible
and the gettysburg address

[chorus]
you’ll never build a nation
in all this bl–dy mess
go home and read your bible
and the gettysburg address

[bridge]
you’ve got the grandest country
this world has ever known
your contribution is the brightest
star that’s ever shone

[chorus]
you yankees and you rebels
shake hands and then caress
go home and read your bible
and the gettysburg address

[outro]
go home and read your bible
and the gettysburg address
