Prologue: The Old Red Hills of Home - Charlie Webb/Howard McGillin/Parade Cast
Lyrics by:Jason Robert Brown
Composed by:Jason Robert Brown
Farewell my Lila
I'll write every evening
I've carved our names
In the trunk of this tree
Farewell my Lila
I miss you already
And dream of the day
When I'll hold you again
In a home safe from fear
When the Southland is free
I go to fight for these old hills behind me
These old red hills of home
I go to fight for these old hills remind me
Of a way of life that's pure
Of the truth that must endure
In a town called Marietta
In the old red hills of home
Pray on this day as I journey beyond them
These old red hills of home
Let all the blood of the North spill upon them
'Til they've paid for what they've wrought
Taken back the lies they've taught
And there's peace in Marietta
And we're safe again in Georgia
In the land where honor
Lives and breathes
The old red hills of home
Farewell my Lila Farewell
Look there my Lila
They call me to tell it
The lives that we led
When the Southland was free
We gave our lives for
The old hills of Georgia
The old red hills of home
Not much survives of
The old hills of Georgia
But I close my eyes and hear
All the treasures we held dear
The rushing of the Chattahoochie
And the red clay
The rustlin' in the wind
The blue skies
And mama in the kitchen singin'
A man can grow his cotton
And me and Lila swingin'
In a tree and his crops
Oh I hear it calling calling
And I would glady give still
My good right leg again
Again
Again
God bless the sight
Of the old hills of Georgia
The old red hills of home
Praise those who'd fight
For the old hills of Georgia
For those proud and valiant men
We'll sing Dixie once again
For the men of Marrietta
For the the brothers of Cobb county
For the fathers of Atlanta
For the patriarchs
Who gave everything for Georgia
And the old red hills of home
