They Fired On Fort Sumter

They fired on Fort Sumter

On April 12 of 1861

Do you think they really knew

Just what they have done?

About 4: 30 very early in the morning

That faithful day in 1861

The bombs kept on bursting

Until the South had won

They fired on Fort Sumter

On April 12 of 1861

Do you think they really knew

Just what they have done?

It was the beginning of a very terrible time

For these divided sates

By the time they knew what was happening

It was already too late

They fired on Fort Sumter

On April 12 of 1861

Do you think they really knew

Just what they have done?

A bloodless beginning for the bloodiest war

This country has ever seen

Men and boys would die in great numbers

And many were in there teens

They fired on Fort Sumter

On April 12 of 1861

Do you think they really knew

Just what they have done? x2
