Stonewall Jackson

Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (January 21, 1824 – May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and one of the best-known Confederate commanders after General Robert E. Lee. His military career includes the Valley Campaign of 1862 and his service as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. Confederate pickets accidentally shot him at the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863. The general survived with the loss of an arm to amputation, but died of complications from pneumonia eight days later. His death was a severe setback for the Confederacy, affecting not only its military prospects, but also the morale of its army and of the general public. more »

I won't be home anymore I'll be so far away
In my lonely prison cell until my dying day
Friend I don't want to bore ye or waste much of your day
But I've got a sad story I'd like to tell about the life that just wasted away
I had a good home and a family one time and riches of diamonds and jewels
But one night out on a party my friends I broke one of God's golden rules
Thy shall not kill was deep in my heart that day
But drinking too much driving too fast I took three lives away
So then I was trialed and convicted and the judge said so mercy on me
He said we was makin' an example so I was sent in this penitentary
Ninety-mine years was my sentence never no more will I roam
Nover to be with my loved ones so dear no place but this cell to call home
I'm alone in my shame and this is written deep in my soul
For the price I must pay for driking and driving can't be paid in silver and gold
I can't see my little darling or watch my babies at play
Three lives I took while drinking and driving out on the highway one day
