Well old Jackson is dead
He’s gone and laid down his sweet head
See he’s gone done and died
Done given up
Done been lost for the South
Well Lee he wept in the street
When he heard of Jackson’s defeat
Come on boys stop giving up
And win one for the South
And the old Jackson Brigade gave into retreat
And the old Jackson Brigade bled red in the street
See old Jackson is dead
His men laid down his sweet head
See he’s gone done and died
Done given up
Done been lost for the South
And the old Jackson Brigade gave into retreat
And the old Jackson is dead and so is the South
