As some of you may know, my area of interest is Civil War period music.

Thought I would share this one. This is a Confederate song that was an

adaptation of the Yankee marching song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home".

There is a neat little story behind the lyrics which I would be happy to

share with anyone interested. You can reach me at CSACavalier@aol.com.

Chords: Em G Em G D

(Em) We all went down to New Orleans

For (G) bales, for bales

(Em) We all went down to New Orleans

For (G) bales, says I

We all went down to New Orleans

To (D) get a glimpse behind the scenes

We'll (G) all (D) drink (G) stone (D) blind

(Em) Johnny fill up the bowl.

We thought when we got in the Ring

For bales, for bales

We thought when we got in the Ring

For bales, says I

We thought when we got in the Ring

Greenbacks would be a dead sure thing

We all drank stone blind

Johnny fill up the bowl.

Our Ring went up with baggage and rope

For bales, for bales

Upon the Blackhawk with baggage and rope

For bales, says I

Up Red River with baggage and rope

Looking to make a ton of soap

And we'll all drink stone blind

Johnny fill up the bowl.

But Taylor and Smith with ragged ranks

For bales, for bales

But Taylor and Smith with ragged ranks

For bales, says I

Taylor and Smith with ragged ranks

Burned up the cotton and whipped ole Banks

And we all drank stone blind

Johnny fill up the bowl.

Our Ring came back and cursed and swore

For bales, for bales

Our Ring came back and cursed and swore

For bales, says I

Our Ring came back and cursed and swore

We got no cotton at Grand Ecore

And we all drank stone blind

Johnny fill up the bowl.

Now let us all give praise and thanks

For bales, for bales

Now let us all give praise and thanks

For bales, says I

Let us all give praise and thanks

For the victory won by General Banks

And we all drink stone blind

Johnny fill up the bowl.
