If he says

-"we're here to die men" while lit by sunset's glow

-points his flag toward heaven and his bayonet to the foe

And tells you he's "saved Grant's waning glory and Sherman's laurels too"?

That ain't your man, that's Thomas Sweeney

He says “we’re here to die men!”, while lit by sunset’s glow, His flag he points to heaven, and his bayonets to the foe, He saves Grant’s waning glory and Sherman’s laurels too, And Buell’s rescue column comes bristling in to view, When swaying in the saddle, he’s slowly led away, And cheers rang out for “Fighting Tom”, the savior of the day
