Lyrics
Oh, one last kiss, oh, baby, one last kiss
It never felt like this
Oh, baby, not like this
You know I need your love
Oh! Oh! Oh! Give me one last kiss
Oh, one more time, oh, baby, one more time
You make me feel sublime
Oh, baby, it’s sublime
You know I need your love
Oh! Oh! Oh! give me one last kiss
Darling, it isn’t right
Why must we say goodnight?
Don’t let me go like this
Baby, I need you so but if I have to go
Just give me one last kiss
Oh, one last kiss! oh, baby, one last kiss
It never felt like this, oh, baby, not like this
You know I need your love
Oh! Oh! Oh! give me one last kiss

Lyrics
1. Tis old Stonewall the Rebel that leans on his sword:
“Now each cavalier that loves Honor and Right,
Let him follow the feather of Stuart to night!”
Come tighten your girth and slacken your rein;
Come buckle your blanket and holster again;
Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
For he must ride sure that goes Riding a Raid!
CHORUS
Come tighten your girth and slacken your rein;
Come buckle you blanket and holster again;
Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
For he must ride sure that goes Riding a Raid!
2. Now gallop now gallop to swim o[‘]er t[‘]e ford!
Old Stonewall, still watching, prays low to the Lord:
“Now Bye dear old Rebel! the river’s not wide,
And Mary-land’s light’s in her window to guide.”
Come tighten your girth and slacken your rein;
Come buckle your blanket and holster again;
Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
For he must ride sure that goes Riding a Raid!
3. There’s a man in a white house with blood on his mouth!
If there’s knaves in the North, there are braves in the South.
We are three thousand horses, and not one afraid;
We are three thousand sabres, and not one dull blade.
Come tighten your girth and slacken your rein;
Come buckle your blanket and holster again;
Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
For he must ride sure that goes Riding a Raid!
4. Then gallop, then gallop by ravines and rocks!
Who would bar us the way take his toll in hard knocks;
For with these points of steel, on the line of Penn,
We have made some fine strokes, and we make them again.
Then tighten your girth and slacken your rein;
Come buckle your blanket and holster again;
Try the click of your trigger and balance your blade
For he must ride sure that goes Riding a Raid! Riding a Raid (1863)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sUnDAhZhpVY/mqdefault.jpg)
