Moors & McCumber - Quick As I Can

As quick as I can
As quick as I can
I'm gonna come back home as quick as I can
As quick as I can
As quick as I can
I'm gonna come back home as quick as I can
Joined up in '61
Left behind a wife and son
To keep in step with the fife and drum
I fell in with the Iron Brigade
To fight the boys who wear the grey
We'll be back in 90 days
As quick as I can
As quick as I can
I'm gonna come back home as quick as I can
As quick as I can
As quick as I can
I'm gonna come back home as quick as I can
First stop was Rock County
The Wisconsin Cavalry
Then train on down to misery
Mississippi to Cairo
Then up to Paduhka on the Ohio
Rendezvous with Grant in ol' Shiloh
As quick as I can
As quick as I can
I'm gonna come back home as quick as I can
As quick as I can
As quick as I can
I'm gonna come back home as quick as I can
April 1862 and the Devil's Day had come too soon
Colonel Moore gathered up his troops
We sang Brave Boys Are They
As we buried our brothers in the blood soaked clay
Never again to see the light of day
As quick as I can
As quick as I can
I'm gonna come back home as quick as I can
As quick as I can
As quick as I can
I'm gonna come back home as quick as I can
My Wausau farm I may never see
If they bury me in Tennessee
Just bring these letters home for me
And give my love to my sweet family
As quick as I can
As quick as I can
I'm gonna come back home as quick as I can
As quick as I can
As quick as I can
I'm gonna come back home as quick as I can
As quick as I can
As quick as I can
I'm gonna come back home as quick as I can
