To the military I submitted myself -- You have crowned yourselves with glory -- It was literally a leap in the dark -- We struck out on our own responsibility -- A perfect tornado of shots was fired at us -- It was a grand and imposing ovation -- The whiskey was still abundant -- The fame and glory of Morgan's command -- This was a hard-fought field -- Our march was cautious -- The scene was ludicrous and pitiful -- I was captured for the last time -- The days dragged slowly by -- With three days' rations, we started home.
