Lost Confederate Gold - The Del McCoury Band

Passed down from generations since 1865
The story of a fortune, in lost rebel gold survived
All the trains at Danville to save it from the yanks
They loaded up the box cars with the gold from Richmond’s banks

From Danville down to Georgia
Some say there was a scheme to hide that rebel treasure Somewhere in between cause when they got to Georgia Its told the gold was gone
And the search throughout the southland still goes on

(chorus)
Hauntng hearts of many men since the days of old Forever on an endless trail that never has grown cold Are they chasin fools gold or truth in the tales told Of the legend of the lost confederate gold

Now believers have been searchin for over a hundred years For that rebel treasure
That just seem to disappear
They talked of codes and carvings made on rocks and trees By an age-old secret circle of confederate refugees

Some say old Greenhill graveyard in Danville holds some clues Some say the gold is scaered in the towns railroad
They still search in Oklahoma and the woods of Arkansas While all the non-believers say there is no gold at all
