First Blood - Paco del Stinko

It was 150 years ago today

In 1861 - Civil war had just begun
Just over the Potomac - A rebel flag was hung
Elmer Ephraim Ellsworth - From New York by birth
Feeling brave and confident - To Virginia went

Oh-Elmer Ellsworth!

It was 150 years ago today

The flag was on a roof - Of a local inn
Ellsworth took it down - With proudly lifted chin
But James W.Jackson - With a shotgun blastin'
Shot the colonel dead - Turned his chest blood red

Oh-Elmer Ellsworth!

It was 150 years ago today

The first to die were at Fort Sumter
At the surrender near the bunker
But the colonel's death rallied the people
Rich and poor fighting as equal

It was 150 years ago today

The greatest little man - That Lincoln ever met
Gave his life for freedom - Gained his fame from death
He gave it all - Just 5-6 foot tall
He stood up proud - His death rang out so loud

Oh-Elmer Ellsworth!
Martyr for the Union cause!

It was 150 years ago today
It was 150 years ago today

You came back. You put your game face on. You did your best impression of They Might Be Giants. You rocked. Hey, this is the first song in the "educational" challenge to actually teach me something I didn't know before! And it's catchy and upbeat and fun! And it's over before it gets a chance to wear out its welcome! This is great!
