It's war, boys! Let's join the troop!

 

Join The Troop

 

Come join the troop

'cos we are just about to go war

Come join the troop.

We'll have a grand old time.

We'll watch those Yanks take fright and then take flight

Until they reach the Mason Dixon line

Come join the troop

'cos we are just about to go war

Come join the troop.

Fight for our Bonnie Bonnie Blue

Those Yanks will all be downed by our first round

And we'll be home within a month or two.

 

The cause for which we fight

is right and noble

independence and the way of life we choose

The Yanks have tried to hurt our pride

but Fort Sumpter turned the tide

Now they want more, we'll have a war that we can use

Come join the troop

'cos we are just about to go war

Come join the troop.

And march for victory.

And when those Yankees feel our Southern steel

We'll be home well within a month, you'll see

Come join the troop

'cos we are just about to go war

Come join the troop.

Fight for our Bonnie Bonnie Bonnie Blue

 

When those Yankees ......... the Southern men

 

We''ll be home within a month

Yes, home within a month.

Yes, home within a month or two.

last night i thought I heard

 

"When those Yankees run the Southern men

 

Will be home within a month"

 

but I'm probably just hearing what I think is plausible to fill the space a bit like a crossword.

 

ALONE

( Jill )

Ask me how I feel

I feel as if my life has turned to stone

Where once my heart had wings

I feel the cage is empty now the bird has flown

From this country where the silence is profound

From this well of darkness much too deep to sound

This place that I have come to know and feel

Is called alone

( Darius )

Forgiveness is divine

But nothing will and nothing ever can atone

The nightmares come again

Just like a fate I have no power to postpone

I try to change but I remain the same

Rearranging all the letters of your name

But nothing can release me from this prison called

Alone

( Both )

I never cared before

Or wanted so to give

But now my joy's no more ( Darius sings " is gone")

Where is the will to live?

So this is what I feel

An emptiness like nothing I have known

Where peace of mind is something I must follow

But could never hope to roam

When nothing that I do relieves the pain

Or can once?erase your image from my brain

( Both sit down )

I'm condemned to live my life

Here in this hell that's called

Alone.

 

This is accurate I think for the TCM video but I've got a niggling feeling that sometimes Jill and Darius sang 'her' instead of 'your', which to me would be more logical when they're distraught at losing Bonnie.

Yes, in the video it is "rearranging all the letters of your name" but I'm sure Darius sang "her name"

 

 

 

It's "I tried to change but I remain the same"

 

and "where peace of mind is something I once borrowed but could never hope to own"

As far as I can hear you have the words for Just Two spot on.

Thanks, Nina. Those are the words I heard the last time I listened, but I kept thinking I heard an 'r' at the beginning of own.

 

 

 

 

I think "rearranging all the letters of your/her name" is meant as a metaphor for being on his mind all the time. And perhaps wishing he'd done things differently.

I can 'sing' most of the women's song but not the bit where half sing over the other half singing 'This war must end'. That's a brilliant song and often in my mind.
I found that after seeing the show, the songs went round in my head all night, stopping me sleeping.
Yes, but it was a lot better than the dreams you often have. The woman's song just creeps in while I'm doing something - as does Darius' part of 'Alone'

I didn't retain many of the words of the women's song but I've been humming the tune all day today and singing the "Can this be all?"

 

May I request a favour of our mods? When you transfer one of Rhett's songs from here, could you post Booth's picture of the costume he wore for that song too, please?

That's a good idea - we don't have pics for none Darius songs though - which is a shame.

No sure what you want me to do.

 

What songs?

The lyrics and a photo next to them?

We can't put videos on unless they are on youtube.

 

You could copy and paste...but if you explain what you want I could do it.

Booths pic of Darius in costume just before the lyrics would be good - once we've finished the lyrics of course.
Now all we have to do is finish the lyrics. I'll try and find a pic which'll go with the other songs.

Hurry back, BT. You seem to have better quality speakers than I have.
