The Ballad Of Calvin Crozier

Good people of this townYou'd do well to gather aroundThere is something that I must sayA good man died here on this dayYou'd do well to know his nameAnd it's here his gravestone laysHe was free and the soldiers didn't understandWhen he returned and gave his life for another manCalvin CrozierThey made him dig his graveCalvin CrozierThen they shot him where he layThen the soldiers danced, well they danced all nightOn the shallow grave of Calvin CrozierHe had fought for four long yearsSeen his share of blood and tearsHe had earned his long ride homeIn a boxcar for the nightUnion soldiers for delightCame to make their presence knownHe was free and the soldiers didn't understandWhen he returned and gave his life for another manCalvin CrozierThey made him dig his graveCalvin CrozierThen they shot him where he layThen the soldiers danced, well they danced all nightOn the shallow grave of Calvin Crozier
