Sitting by the roadside on a summer's day
Chatting with my mess-mates, passing time away
Lying in the shadows underneath the trees
Goodness, how delicious, eating goober peas.
When a horse-man passes, the soldiers have a rule
To cry out their loudest, "Mister, here's your mule!"
But another custom, enchanting-er than these
Is wearing out your grinders, eating goober peas.
Chorus
Just before the battle, the General hears a row
He says "The Yanks are coming, I hear their rifles now."
He turns around in wonder, and what d'ya think he sees?
The Georgia Militia, eating goober peas.
Chorus
I think my song has lasted almost long enough.
The subject's interesting, but the rhymes are mighty rough.
I wish the war was over, so far from rags and fleas
We'll kiss our wives and sweethearts, and gobble goober peas.
This album is on heavy rotation in my house. LeBlanc's lyrics make me smile and the banjo rendition of Ace of Spades is a cherry on top of this masterpiece. awetz583
Le premier album est clairement meilleur. Je sais pas ce que vous avez fait avec le mastering de la voix, mais ça sonne off. Une voix en background qui manque de vie.Bref, le premier album sonne plus cru, décevant ici. Maxime P
