"Stonewall" lyrics

My old man
Was as hard as he was tough
He smoked his lucky
And drank that ole rock dust
He's speak his mind
But he never said too much
The tide, the bear, and mama
And me was all he loved

We called him Stonewall

His great grand-daddy fell on a bloody Shiloh Hill
His old man was a young man on a foreign battle field
He's roll himself some old crow, swallow down the hurt
And never saw him cry till he laid Grandma in the dirt

We called him Stonewall

His hands were calloused from workin' in the field
He was stubborn, strong as Alabama steel
He never said he loved us, but we all knew he did
We thought he was bulletproof and ten feet tall
We called him Stonewall
We called him Stonewall

His hands were calloused from workin' in the field
He was stubborn, strong as Alabama steel
He never said he loved us, but we all knew he did
Never told no stories 'bout the time he spent in 'Nam
But he left more than a pound of flesh across the pond
Purple Heart, folded flag, twenty-one guns
One name etched in granite, one proud indebted son\

We called him Stonewall
We called him Stonewall
Ohh ya
We called him Stonewall
Called him Stonewall

We called him Stonewall
Oh we called him Stonewall

We called him Stonewall
