On the 4th of July 1865

   The civil war

Out of Richmond                                                                                                                                                   At the crack of dawn,                                                                                                                                         On a dusty road                                                                                                                                           Leading to Appomattox town.

A nurse on her stallion rode home.                  A long the way                                                She passed Confederates,                          Shot, bloated and dead.

Sprung from swift hooves                                                                                                                                She goes thundering by                                                                                                                              Leaving dust from the road                                                                                                                          Rising high into the sky.

Crafting a trail like a comet,                          Shot from the mouth                                          Of a thousand cannons,                        Rushing for home, faster and faster

The rebellion foreboding for                                                                                                                          Slave owners, then and forever,                                                                                                                        On the 4^th of July 1865.                                                                                                                                     Our 5 year Civil War finally over.
