Lyrics

1862
Mike Marcum & Jordyn Pepper

1862 and I hear a boom
Solider mans’ shadow in my living room
He shot my momma dead and my sister too
I don’t know why he didn’t kill me too
No I don’t know why he didn’t kill me to

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Five long years since that war began
Walking in a hollar when I met a man
Daddy doesn't like him his a yankee man
I feel like I’ve met him but I don’t know when
Oh I feel like I’ve met him but I don’t know when

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

Holding hands Sunday afternoon
He said I have something to tell you
I shot your momma and your sister too
As a solider that was something I forced to do
As a solider that was something he was forced to do

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

It’s 1862 and I hear that boom
War is hell and love it too
