The Ballad Of Cape Henry
作詞:Kimbrough, Todd Snider
Well, I served as a sailor, it was back in '81 I can't say I'm sorry, I volunteered for what I'd done We trained and we waited, we would not be outdone And then one day six battleships came out of the rising sun
So we all manned our stations, yeah, we passed the jug of wine We waited with patience, we waited for a sign First thunder, then lightning, then the ringing in my ears I can still hear that screaming, even after all of these years
Cape Henry, Cape Henry, where's the battlefield on fire On water, white water with them flames climbing higher We fired our cannon at least two hours or more Cape Henry, Cape Henry, off of that old Virginia shore
Our deck was in tatters, that smoke was thick and black For each shot they fired we fired two right back And then I felt my shoulder and then something knocked me down Yeah, the last thing I remember was that water all around

Cape Henry, Cape Henry, the battlefield on fire On water, white water with them flames climbing higher We fired our cannon for at least two hours or more Cape Henry, Cape Henry, off of that old Virginia shore
I plough this man's field now from morning until night That war took my left arm, I'm just a-working with my right I guess, I fought for the freedom of some richer man up north But I still fight for something, this plough goes back and forth
Cape Henry, Cape Henry, the battlefield on fire On water, white water with flames climbing higher We fired our cannon at least two hours or more Cape Henry, Cape Henry, off of that old Virginia shore Cape Henry, Cape Henry, off of that old Virginia shore
