Shocked Michelle Prodigal Daughter Shaking Hands Michelle Shocked (Poly Gram Songs, Inc) Shaking hands and fingers that do tremble Soldier's joy has been a bitter pill Though in battle a brave man I resemble Alone I am a coward without will Here's McGee from the great state of Missouri To the Show-Me State Militia I belong And to judge from the pride on the Confederate side I'd say five hundred thousand rebels can't be wrong A rebel stand is no place for a traitor A loveless union cannot bend us to her will Cannot command the soldiers who now hate her Nor demand a bounty of her generals I took a rifle ball in my shoulder But my entire body filled with pain I waited with them all at the field hospital Oh God, another shot of morphine Soldier's joy, oh what's the point in pleasure When it's only meant to kill the pain Lay down my arms and take the coffin's measure Or take up arms and send me out to fight again Shaking hands -- Was I a coward, was I brave? Shaking hands -- I took the bitter pill Tell the story on my grave, my soul they could not save What the bullet could not kill, the needle will |
