text: From this day on
  I own my fathers gun
  We dug a shallow grave
  Beneath the sun
  We laid his broken body down
  Below the southern land
  Itd never do to bury him
  Where any Yankee stands
  I take my horse
  I ride the Northern plain
  And wear the color of the free
  And join the fight again
  I will not rest until I know
  The cause is fought and won
  From this day on until I die
  Ill wear my fathers gun
  Id like to know where
  The riverboats sail tonight, yeah, yeah
  To New Orleans, hey
  Thats just fine, alright
  I hear theyre fighting there
  And the company needs men
  And oh up there? slip us a rope
  And sail around the bend 
  As soon as this is over
  Well all go home
  And plant the seeds of justice
  In our bones
  And let the children growin and playin
  And all the women stayed in hope
  Laughing when the bells of freedom ring
  And theyre gonna ring
  Id like to know where
  The riverboats sail tonight, yeah, yeah
  To New Orleans, hey
  Thats just fine, alright
  I hear theyre fighting there
  And the company needs men
  And oh oooh, slip us a rope
  And sail around the bend
  Id like to know where
  The riverboats sails tonight, yeah, huh
  To New Orleans
  Thats just fine, alright
  You know were fighting there
  And the company needs everybody
  And oh I say I say slip us a rope
  Sail around the bend
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
  Sail around the bend
  To somewhere new
  I wont stop until I know
  Were gonna win
  Were gonna win
  Oooh
