The Wrightsville Burning

Columbia and Wrightsville burn
When the Union set fire the bridge.
Buckets come, Confederate sons
And a table is furnished for
Their troop. Such beauty is seen there
What wouldn't happen today. Good
Men, knowing war is famine of
Charity, they work together
To restore the town from ashes.
Right in my hometown the war came
Near, but both sides set aside their
Differences, to help keep the peace.
645,000
Men died in the war, to free slaves.
Thus, reparations were paid by
Our blood and peace. Let it now rest.
