WHO’S PRICE A-FIGHTING? (THE PEA RIDGE BATTLE) Sung by: Neal Morris Recorded in Mountain View, AR 9/9/61 Click here to listen to the original recording With a horse with a sweeping pace, And when he heard of McCulloch's death, The tears rolled down his face. Chorus: Who’s Price a-fighting? Somebody, I do know. It surely is the Federals, For I hear their cannons roar. Well, he jumped stumps and scattered fence, All day he did not dread, For all the lay upon his mind Was a little lump of lead. (Chorus) Also found in Randolph, Vol. II, #209, “The Pea Ridge Battle.” |
