Lyrics
On a cold and rainy evening in 1862
Young men walked the muddy road towards the boys in blue
Their thoughts were of their loved ones they had left so far away
For tomorrow they would stand and fight for their beloved gray
As the morning came a misty rain was still falling down
And smoke from the guns of the battle hovered all around
Throughout the day the battle raged as both sides made the call
And by the time the day was over many good men would fall
The battle lines were drawn along a broken down fence row
From a ridge above the youth could see the fighting down below
The rebel forces moved along the left flank of the line
And by afternoon the Federals were pushed down the mountain side
But by later on that evening Union ranks began to grow
And the rebel troops were forced to withdraw from that old fence row
They stood and fought so gallantly but lost this one you see
For on this day the Lord had sided with their enemy
Now as the fight came to an end the death toll made its climb
Men from both sides lost their lives in such a short time
For many this would be the first and last fight they would know
For they fought the bloody battle known as Logan's Cross Road
