Blood And Glory

Gerry Rafferty · Singer/songwriter [2001]

Don't you feel like talkin' to a man

Who's fed up walkin' all the time

Don't you feel like sayin' to a man

Who's fed up prayin' that you're mine



We fought a lot of battles from

Nebraska to Seattle, I'm so tired

We hid in lonely places and we never

Seen the faces 'til they fired



Well hear me talkin'

(Blood and glory)

I'm fed up walkin'

(Blood and glory)

I'll tell a story

(Blood and glory)

About blood and glory



When we threw away our sabers

And we joined with Preston's Raiders for a while

We looted and we plundered

While the Yankee cannons thundered, we just smiled



But now back home in Kentucky

And I know I've been lucky to survive

I never want to see another

Cannon aimed at me while I'm alive



Well hear me talkin'

(Blood and glory)

I'm fed up walkin'

(Blood and glory)

I'll tell a story

(Blood and glory)

About blood and glory
