A life on the Vicksburg bluff
A home in the trenches deep
Where we dodge Yank shells enough
And our old pea bread won't keep
On Old Logan's beef I pine
For there's fat on his bones no more
Oh give me some pork and brine
And truck from a Sutler's store
A life on the Vicksburg bluff
A home in the trenches deep
Where we dodge Yank shells enough
And our old pea bread won't keep
Pea bread, pea bread, our old pea bread won't keep
Pea bread, pea bread, our old pea bread won't keep
Old Grant is starvin' us out
Our grub is fast-wastin' away
Pemb don't know what he's about
And he hasn't for many a day
So we'll bury Old Logan tonight
From tough beef we'll be set free
We'll put him far out-of-sight
No more of his meat for me!
A life on the Vicksburg bluff
A home in the trenches deep
Where we dodge Yank shells enough
And our old pea bread won't keep
Pea bread, pea bread, our old pea bread won't keep
Pea bread, pea bread, our old pea bread won't keep
Texas Steers are no longer in view
Mule steaks are now done-up brown
While pea bread, mule roast, and mule stew
Are our fare in Vicksburg Town
And the song of our hearts shall be
While the Yanks and their gunboats rave
A life in a bomb-proof for me, and a tear on Old Logan's grave!
A life on the Vicksburg bluff
A home in the trenches deep
Where we dodge Yank shells enough
And our old pea bread won't keep
Pea bread, pea bread, our old pea bread won't keep
Pea bread, pea bread, our old pea bread won't keep
