For the more than seven thousand NC confederates who died at Gettysburg 150 years ago

And to 2 of my ancestors in the 11th NC under Pettigrew- there motto was first at Bethel, furthest at Gettysburg, and last at Appomattox. One died on the first day at Gettysburg, and the other captured later in the war. Several other known ancestors we in SC regiments, and had family living in Kentucky and Illinois at the time, so we had Federal troops in the family as well.

Ashoken Farewell from Ken Burn's Civil War series

This is a song that always reminds me of a dear friend. It was her song. Smile on face and try dancing to it

Thanks Navy. That is hair-raisin' beautiful. Do you know where this was performed.
My Great wounded at Spotsylvania Court House in 1863--sent to yankee prison in Delaware. Assigned to 21st NC (Rockingham County NC border VA line). Fled to NC mountains post Lee surrender.

It’s from Ken Burn’s Civil War Series. Ashoken Farewell was written in the 20th century however, but very much in the style of the Scots Irish melodies popular on both sides during the Civil War. Some on the youtube threads claim this song is from the Civil War and remember Gramps playing in on the violin – who knows?
Just the same, It is haunting and beautiful at the same time and does get you to think about all the young boys in blue and gray who were so horribly slaughtered on the field of battle.

Our current world.

Sing me a song, you're a singer
Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The Devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you're a taker
So it's on and on and on
...it's Heaven and Hell, oh well

The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming
So it's on and on and on
Oh it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell
I can tell, fool, fool!

Well, if it seems to be real, it's illusion
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life
Love can be seen as the answer
But nobody bleeds for the dancer
And it's on and on, on and on and on....

They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of Kings and Queens
Who blind your eyes then steal your dreams
...it's Heaven and Hell, oh well

And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell

No no fool, fool!
You got to bleed for the dancer!
Fool, fool, look for the answer!
Fool, fool, fool!
