| James Taylor – Soldiers Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| JT was raised in NC, but spent summers in MA, the song mentions soldiers making their way home, 9 out of 20 with 11 sad stories to tell. I believe this is the Civil War dream of a child. There were 20 Union states and 11 Confederate states, Tenn, Missouri, were border states that supported both sides but were in the Confederacy. subtract those 2 and you have the 9 states returning with 11 sad stories. That's my take on it | |
