[G] It was back in the summer of 61, Stonewall Jackson's fame was won.
McDowell marched across Fulcrum, and went back running to Washington.
[C] [G]
[C] [G] Come the spring of 62, down the valley old blue light blue,
At Kernstown there he picked a fight, and gave old Ava Pearson pride.
[C] [G]
[C] [G] Rebels in the valley, Lincoln cries alarm, Jackson's in the valley, I'll fear do us harm.
Jackson's in the valley, Stonewall is on the loose, Jackson's in the valley, all hell's a-breaking loose.
[C] [G]
[C] [G] Down the valley and back again, Stonewall's boys did fight and win.
For two long months and maybe more, we marched and we fought and we marched some more.
[C] [G]
[C] [G] Now we'll raise a rebel yell, and we'll send them Yankees straight to hell.
We'll give them creepshot, buck and ball, we'll march and we'll fight for old Stonewall.
[C] [G]
[C] [G] We'll march even though our feet are torn, and it's true our clothes are worn,
Still we'll keep our muskets bright, for Stonewall's army is full of fire.

[C] [G] Thanks, St.
Sheep, and three more tootin' from our valley, they all went blue.
Jackson swept the valley clear, and now he marches on to Cleland's rear.

[C] [G] Jackson's in the valley, Stonewall is on the loose, Jackson's in the valley, all hell's a-breaking loose.
Jackson's in the valley, Stonewall is on the loose, Jackson's in the valley, all hell's a-breaking loose.
