The Union Mare and the Confederate Grey - Midday Sun
Two horses were trotting they pranced and they ran
Each one was commanded by a cavalry man
Two horses stood grazing where their dead riders lay
A Union mare and a Confederate grey
They nuzzled each other as they teased and had fun
They bathed in the warm rays of the old Southern sun
No more senseless orders for them to obey
So they acted like lovers this mare and this grey
Now these are such sad times that we're all living in
For killing you brother is the mightiest sin
How happy we'd be if we acted the way
Of the Union mare and the Confederate grey
Two horses were trotting they pranced and they ran
Each one was commanded by a cavalry man
Two horses stood grazing where their dead riders lay
A Union mare and a Confederate grey
