Track 6 from "Shadows, Greys & Evil Ways"

The Whistler

Travellin'

Cattle Call

Red Light

Midnight approaching
cannon thunders on
here in the highlands
where we shed our bones
caught in the crossfire
we try to stay warm
drink up your courage lads
with fathers and sons

Like geese in a grinder
huddled in dark rain
shot through the shoulder
curse through the pain
come another morning
as the band plays the song
charge across the fields lads
with fathers and sons

Haven't seen my wife in three years
lost her locket in the battle of Shiloh  
but she will carry me 
into the battle below 

My son lost his leg at 
Lee's victory of Chancellorsville
walking on homemade crutches now
he followed Lee across the Potomac
into Maryland  
Sweet Home Maryland  

Now we gear for battle at Gettysburg
let the blue dogs know 
the gray boys have come 
bringing sharpshooters and canons 
and fathers and sons 
(fathers and sons)
fathers and sons

Bang the drum slowly
for the long road that runs
close to the blood
that covers everyone
holding the line
till morning is come
buried in the meadows
fathers and sons

fathers and sons
fathers and sons
fathers and sons
buried in the meadows
fathers and sons
fathers and sons

Gettysburg (Fathers And Sons) - New version Lyrics in Description

Not Human No More
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

You burden my load  
You lessen my share  
I have my own land  
and ammo to spare  
Don’t come looking for help  
find someone who cares


You burden my load  
You lessen my share  
I have my own land  
and ammo to spare  

The shelves are all empty  
I have one loaf of bread  
My wife sits and stares  
The baby is dead

Don’t come looking for help  
find someone who cares

These troubles have changed us  
We ain’t human no more  
We ain’t human no more



My mother was blonde  
My dad had blue eyes  
If it's left up to me
it is you who will cry  

You were not born here  
You don’t look like me  
You don’t get a voice  
in the land of the free

So, get used to your cages  
it is where you belong  
You will be there for ages  
Though you’ve done nothing wrong

These troubles have changed us  
We ain’t human no more  
We ain’t human no more



I have all the power  
and most all the guns  
they are loaded with hate  
and so are my sons

I can’t trust my own sister  
and my father is insane  
We live in disaster  
and we are all to blame  

It doesn’t matter the cause  
our time here is through  
Hard times are now here
I don’t care about you

It doesn’t matter the cause  
our time here is through  
Hard times are now here
I don’t care about you

I don’t care about you


Hard times have changed us  
We opened the door
The devil came in
We ain’t human no more  

We opened the door
The devil came in
We ain’t human no more  

The devil came in
We ain’t human no more  

You ain’t human no more
not human no more


Hard times have found us
I don’t care about you

Not Human No More
