How Many Devils? lyrics
How Many Devils?
Male 1
One, two
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
And watch the miles roll by
Male 2
Three, four
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
Until you stop one and you die
Male 3
One, two
Pick 'em up and put 'em down 'till
Massa Robert tells us to sleep
Male 4
Three, four
When the hell did shoes get so damn dear
And life become so damn cheap?
Male 5
One, two
Those damn Yankees ain't as give up easy
As we thought they would be
Male 6
Three, four
Those damn Yankees ain't as near as scared
Or half as hungry as me
Male 7
One, two
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
Is all a body can do
Male 8
Three, four
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
Until this bloody war is through
All
How many miles, how many fears
How many days, how many years
How many rivers of blood, sweat and tears?
How many times into the fray
How many men won't walk away
How many hells filled with
How many devils to pay?
Male 9
One, two
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
And watch the miles roll on
Male 10
Three, four
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
Until your strength is nearly gone
Male 11
One, two
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
And dream of home safe and sound
Male 12
Three, four
Pick 'em up and put 'em down again
Until we're six feet underground
All
How many miles dead on our feet
Drenched to the bone, baked in the heat
Paying for ground with another retreat
How many times into the fray
How many men won't walk away
How many hells filled with
How many devils to pay?
Male 13
Bodies all lay in the tall summer grass
Swollen and butchered and still
Male 14
Measuring miles by the dead that you pass
Measuring life by the men that you kill
All
How many days, how many more
How many men lost to this war
I can't remember what we're fighting for
How many times into the fray
How many men won't walk away
How many hells filled with
How many devils to pay?
