Grant had a simple plan
Lure 'em in wide open field
Take the road to Richmond 
After their defeat

Richmond would fall 
And this war would be all over 
We've got the better guns
Outnumber 'em by thousands

We wrote our letters home
Sayin' the Union's glorious victory's near

But Cold Harbor swallowed our bones 
Cold Harbor's now drenched in our blood 
Many thousand men gone

Heard the battle in the distance 
As our cavalry seized the crossroads
We marched through the night 
To reinforce and to hold it 

Then we bided our time
We heard them digging their trenches that night 
As the signal shot soared 
We stepped off in the morning mist 

We fought from the break of day
Charged out of the woods into a spree of gunfire

But Cold Harbor swallowed our bones 
Cold Harbor's now drenched in our blood 
Many thousand men gone

We lost our formation right away
Wading through the wasteland
Thousands were swept away within the hour
In a hailstorm of iron and lead 

We lost ten thousand 'round noon 
Even commanders said
'This ain't war
It's murder'

Dead and dying between the lines
Laid there for four days under the blistering sun
While the generals took their time 
To agree upon a stalemate

The wounded were treated
Most dead were buried 
On the spot where they fell 
I was laid to rest without a name 
At Seven Pines near Richmond 

The ceasefire's silence's like thunder 
Under the flag of truce 
The wound never healed

But Cold Harbor swallowed our bones 
Cold Harbor's now drenched in our blood 
Many thousand men gone
