Across the field 15,000 gray Marched into the hellish fire Over fallen comrades and fallen friend And over the blood soaked mire
Over the wall into the gates of hell Where for a moment they held the ****** ground Only to be forced away in defeat Torn and beaten down
Misery and pain and agony reigned supreme From the Union cannons shot As it sent death through Picketts men And now his men are not
The gray clouds of defeat hung heavy For on this day they would no more march Many brave and mighty souls set free Such were the men of Picketts Charge
