Union Mare Confederate Grey lyrics by Waylon Jennings
The Union Mare & The Confederate Grey
E
(INTRO)
E A
two horses were trotting, they pranced and they ran
E B
each one was commanded by a cavalry man
E A
two horses stood grazing where their dead riders lay
E B E
a Union mare and a Confederate grey
E A
they nuzzled each other as they teased and had fun
E B
they bathed in the warm rays of the old Southern sun
E A
no more senseless orders for them to obey
E B E
so they acted like lovers, this mare and this grey
e f# g#
A D A D E
A D A D E
(INSTRUMENTAL)
E A
now these are such sad times that we're all living in
E B
for killing you brother is the mightiest sin
E A
how happy we'd be if we acted the way
E B E
of the Union mare and the Confederate grey
e f# g#
A D A D E

(INSTRUMENTAL)
E A
two horses were trotting, they pranced and they ran
E B
each one was commanded by a cavalry man
E A
two horses stood grazing where their dead riders lay
E B E A E
a Union mare and a Confederate grey
