It was at the siege of Vicksburg, of Vicksburg, of Vicksburg!
It was at the siege of Vicksburg,
When the parrot shells are whistling in the air!
Listen to the parrot shell, Listen to the parrot shell!
The parrot shells are whistling to the air!
Listen to the parrot shell, Listen to the parrot shell!
The parrot shells are whistling to the air!
Oh we'll we remember, remember, remember!
Tough mule meet, June sans november;
And the Minié balls are whistling to the air!
Listen to the Minié balls! Listen to the Minié balls!
And the Minié balls are whistling to the air!
Listen to the Minié balls! Listen to the Minié balls!
It was at the siege of Vicksburg, of Vicksburg, of Vicksburg!
It was at the siege of Vicksburg,
When the parrot shells are whistling in the air!
Listen to the parrot shell, Listen to the parrot shell!
The parrot shells are whistling to the air!
Listen to the parrot shell, Listen to the parrot shell!
The parrot shells are whistling to the air!
