“Lost in the Appalachians” redux
[Verse 1]
In ’63, through the mountains’ eerie haze,
Captain Amos led his rebels, lost in a foggy maze.
The Appalachians closed ‘em in, where the cold winds wailed and cried,
In just one day, his men went wild, and Amos’ heart near died.
[Chorus]
Oh, lost in the Appalachians, where the shadows twist and creep,
Captain Amos mourned his men, with a sorrow dark and deep.
Rubbin’ up on one another, chasin’ Templeton in shame,
Poor Private Templeton, caught in their wicked game.
But hold your tears, this tale’s got hope—they found their way, it’s true!
[Verse 2]
Private Templeton stood tall, a soldier brave and lean,
But the men, half-crazed in twenty-four, turned restless, rough, and mean.
They jostled close and leered, their hands too bold in the mountain gloom,
Chasin’ poor ol’ Templeton, like wolves beneath the moon.
Amos raised his voice to thunder, “Y’all stop this sinful strife!
You’re Confederate sons, not beasts, to plague a soldier’s life!”
But the fog had stole their honor, their decency undone,
And Amos’ heart was breakin’ for the man they’d set upon.
[Chorus]
Oh, lost in the Appalachians, where the shadows twist and creep,
Captain Amos mourned his men, with a sorrow dark and deep.
Rubbin’ up on one another, chasin’ Templeton in shame,
Poor Private Templeton, caught in their wicked game.
But hold your tears, this tale’s got hope—they found their way, it’s true!
[Bridge]
Then a scout yelled, “Cap, we’re saved! The camp’s a mile around!
Our lines are down the holler, boys, we’re on familiar ground!”
Amos marched ‘em swift, sent the rogues to face their due,
Saved young Templeton’s honor, kept his soldier’s spirit true.
[Outro]
So sing of Captain Amos, with his weary, righteous stand,
In them misty Appalachian hills, where he led with a steady hand.
Lost for just a day, but the shame’ll haunt ‘em still,
For the men who turned on Templeton, ‘neath that cold mountain’s will.
