Karaoké The Union Mare and the Confederate Grey Waylon Jennings

Two horses were trottin'

They pranced and they ran

Each one was commanded

By a cavalry man

Two horses stood grazin' where their dead riders lay

A Union mare the Confederate grey

They nuzzled each other

As they teased and had fun

They bathed in the warm rays of the old southern sun

No more senseless orders

For them to obey

So they acted like lovers

This mare and this grey

Now these are such sad times that we're all livin' in

For killing your brother is the mightiest sin

How happy we'd be if we acted the way

Of the Union mare the Confederate grey

Two horses were trottin'

They pranced and they ran

Each one was commanded

By a cavalry man

Two horses stood grazin' where their dead riders lay

A Union mare and the Confederate grey
