Proud Valley Boys
In the early days no one thought that we
Would march to fame and glory and hold the destiny
Of the mighty union army in our little hands We put fear into their hearts this rough and band
McClellan threatened Richmond by marching from the sea
Endangering the capital of our Confederacy
We must keep reinforcements for which McClellan calls
From joining with his army or Richmond soon will fall
Proud Valley Boys: when the war was new
They looked so very young in the Spring of '62
Proud Valley Boys fighting for their land
Along with Taylor's Tigers those wild Acadians
The Army of the Valley took no counsel of its fears
Outnumbered four to one, our strategy was clear
We struck at them so swiftly; We took 'em by suprise
Our maneuvres did mislead and keep them mystified
Proud Valley Boys: sixty thousand Yanks

We whipped the Union generals: Freemont, Shields, and Banks
Proud Valley Boys: fighting for their land
Along with Taylor's Tigers those wild Acadians
I told them from the start, I'd fight to the last man
There'd be no wounded left behind, while I was in command
Their duty was to follow, my duty was to lead
And together we marched down the road to victory
Proud Valley Boys: oh I had their trust
They never let me down, even when I asked to much
Proud Valleys: oh I sing their praise
Who could not win with soldiers such as these
Proud Valley Boys: fighting for their land
Along with Taylor's Tigers those wild Acadians
Proud Valley Boys...
