Well it all started out in Chattanooga In that bloody war where I've never had a say
I never thought it right to own another man, I'm just fighting trying to keep my home at bay
And Briggs said, boys you'd best be on time. If they march us back to that county line
They're gonna take our trains
Well it wouldn't be more than a day or two, and this bloody war would all but be through 40,000 men
And I would die in Chickamauga
That cold bloody ground in Chickamauga
Well they march us back to those county lines I'm gonna take that city back or I'll die trying
And that's where I watched my cousin die not here ten years, and he's already lost his life
Oh, on the ground in Chickamauga
That cold dirty ground in Chickamauga
Saying take me home, take me home, take me home
Take me home, take me home, take me home
It was the coldest night of my life
The blood, it nearly froze right to your face
A bunch of Irish boys in the Georgia mountains
What the hell are we doing here in the first place
Well I'm tired of watching my brothers die
And I'm tired of giving up everything I have
I'd rather starve to death in the hills of my home
Than take the life of another man
But the rain kept falling and the bullets kept flying
It seems this dirty war will never end
I may have froze to death or I could have been shot
To be honest it doesn't matter what did me in
Now I can finally go home I can see my kin
Curse the ground in Chickamauga
That cold, bloody ground in Chickamauga
Saying take me home, take me home, take me home
Take me home, Take me home, Take me home
Take me home, Take me home, Take me home
Take me home, Take me home, Take me home
