There was a General greater than Lee
He closed the door to 70,000
with 2500 Calvary.
So the North had higher ground
to fight for the city.



Gettysburg was one of the hinges
on which the war turned
with Sherman soldiers torching through
the South they burned



And for every man the south lost
there was no-one to take their place
Its hard to recruit an army
when you don't feed their face.



Old Lee is still a hero
We all remember him well
But General Buford's story
we have yet to tell.
