Coats of Blue and Grey

Josiah's coat was grey Jedidiah's coat was blue
'Broke their Momma's heart to have Her family torn in two
One marched with the Union Beneath the Stars 'n Stripes
One rode for the Stars 'n Bars And Southern way of life
Jedidiah's coat was blue Josiah's coat was grey
They would ne're see eye to eye Since babes it was their way
One volunteered for Lincoln To stem the great divide
One fought for the folks at home And all he knew was right
On the field at Fredericksburg The North bore Southern wrath
Reb cannon roared 'n muskets poured Hot-lead into their path
Jackson drew his sabre and raised the 'Rebel Yell'
The Yanks came on like demons screamin' Through the Gates of Hell
Time and time again O'er the fallen / men would climb
More than once they made it Within inches of the line
Smoke blew round about 'em, friend from foe was hard to tell
The brothers saw each other's face In a flash / before one fell
Jedidiah's coat was blue Josiah's coat was grey
'Broke their Momma's heart to have Her family swept away
Her younger boy was killed Her older boy had lived
But shootin' dead a brother Is a sin she can't forgive
