1
Andrew Beard was his name he called Kentucky home
2
worked his farm with the wish that he'd be left alone
3
but the war closed in...it was 1861
4
and the race was on to shoulder a gun
5
Andrew Beard held firm...said "this fight is not mine..
6
can't tend the farm if I end up dying...
7
you fight your war...and I'll fight mine
8
gotta battle my crops..a better use of my time
9
Both sides would pass through...using his farm to rest
10
and to water their horses and to thump their war chest
11
Andrew Beard said "you'll be welcome again and again
12
as long as you all behave like men"
13
In 1862 some Union troops pulled in
14
stinking of whiskey and homemade distilled gin
15
One put a gun to his head said "that's a mighty fine mare"
16
stole Andrew Beard's horse right then and there
17
The recruitment posters...the political windbags
18
the sneers of his neighbors and the tongues that would wag
19
ever swayed Andrew Beard..who tried not to take sides
20
but after losing his mare...with the rebels did he ride
21
There's no moral here...there wasn't many them days
22
you disrespect a man...you may have to pay
23
many a union boy was better off before..
24
Andrew Beard went off to fight his little war
25
Andrew Beard was his name he called Kentucky home
26
worked his farm with the wish that he'd be left alone
27
but the war closed in...it was 1861
28
and the race was on to shoulder a gun
This kid is so funny at the church ๐๐๏ฟฝ...
