Saving Savannah: the city and the Civil War

ANTEBELLUM. I am in the hands of kidnappers

Sell and buy and sell and buy

Our common Master in heaven

A demon ready with knife and torch

Let's see her face

IN BELLO. An abiding hope in every breast

As traitors, they go over to the enemy

Are we free?

We have dyed the ground with blood

POSTBELLUM. The way we can best take care of ourselves

For I have a great deal to do

A dream of the past

To have a big meeting, a big shooting, or big blood

The present deranged system of labor

You will see them studying

I came to do my own work

When you leave set fire to all the houses

Those peaceful, powerful weapons
