Richmond’s Wrath: We Don’t Want You Fighting Our War
(a song parody to the chorus: “I Don’t Want To Play In Your Yard”)

We don’t want you fighting our war,
you watched as Burnside laid his trap.
Even though you held the high ground,
you still surrendered Cumberland Gap.

How hollow are your words to us now,
when you proclaimed you’d hold your line,
Yet you broke when you faced danger,
guess your back - it lacked a spine.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

At Gettysburg we were defeated,
surrender followed at Vicksburg.
When you would not fight the Union,
no wonder we were quite perturbed.

When we had to have a victory,
we could not depend on you,
now your locked in Boston Harbor,
we hope that you enjoy the view.

Who Is This Brigadier General that had the government in Richmond “quite perturbed”?
