Name: Into The Valley, Tom Fool
Duration: P00H03M39S
Description: Stonewall made his farewell speech to the Stonewall Brigade in the mountains of Virginia. Here is their response. A basher of a song. We didn't have enough female voices in the studio for the chorus at the end, so we used men, singing falsetto. It sounded like a bunch of muppets.

Stonewall made his farewell speech to the Stonewall Brigade in the mountains of Virginia. Here is their response. A basher of a song. We didn't have enough female voices in the studio for the chorus at the end, so we used men, singing falsetto. It sounded like a bunch of muppets.

lyrics

Snake-railed and cheeks afire
Sweat and sleep come easy
Plainsong or deadman's choir, you would never hear em
Grandfathers and Queen Anne's Lace in the pages of your bible
Spare me all that old time grace
Because I would never need it, no.
Holy Lights and Cottonshots
Burned beneath your bootheels
To hell with all of these aftershocks
Because you would never feel em
Fighting praises all the time
Because in your heart you know that
All you want is a firing line and you would never leave it
All hands high if you always feel like you're alone
Make luck your bride
Divorcing happiness and home
May God bless you all
Farewell
