The Battle Of The Blue And The Grey

About The Battle Of The Blue And The Grey

"The Battle of the Blue and the Grey" is a debut single by the Bee Gees, backed by "The Three Kisses of Love" and released on March 22, 1963. Like all the Bee Gees' output prior to 1967 (with the notable exception of Spicks and Specks) it was only released in Australia. It was performed in Australian television Bandstand, the footage of that performance still exists. It reached #93 in Australia. In September 1963, it was included as the third track on their first EP The Bee Gees. Neither song appeared on an album until the mop-up compilation Turn Around, Look at Us in 1967 but both are included on the 1998 compilation Brilliant from Birth which collects all of the Australian material. more »

Now it's gone ,gone , gone 
Those years have passed away 
It's gone , gone , gone 
There's truth in what I say 
It's gone , gone , gone 
There's nothing more to say 
But I'd do anything if I could do it all again 

Well, I'm an old man now and I'm born to win the race 
People won't believe me but there's truth in what I say 
Many hearts were broken and a lot of tears were shed 
The sky was black and the battlefield was red 

Now it's gone , gone , gone 
Those years have passed away 
It's gone , gone , gone 
There's truth in what I say 
It's gone , gone , gone 
There's nothing more to sa 
But I'd do anything if I could do it all again 

Now, Stonewall Jackson stepped right up and then he said to me 
He said "The battle's gettin' rough son, guess we better flee. 
There's grapeshot all around us and the field is black with lead. 
You better start a-runnin' boy before you lose your head " . 

It's gone , gone , gone 
Those years have passed away 
It's gone , gone , gone 
There's truth in what I say 
It's gone , gone , gone 
There's nothing more to say 
But I'd do anything if I could do it all again 

Well, the cannons roared around us and the field was black with lead 
I picked a soldier dressed in blue and filled him full of lead 
I picked out six more soldiers there a-sittin' on a mound 
I fixed my bayonet to my gun and really mowed them down 

Now, it's gone , gone , gone 
Those years have passed away 
It's gone , gone , gone 
There's truth in what I say 
It's gone , gone , gone 
There's nothing more to say 
But I'd do anything if I could do it all again 
But I'd do anything if I could do it all again

Bee Gees

The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. more »
