  • I showed up at Steadman's wake (Oh well, oh well, oh well)
    I call it my first mistake (Oh well, oh well, oh well)
    They peddle this stuff for pain (Oh well, oh well, oh well)
    And now it's a steady rain (Oh well, oh well, oh well)

    I never knew anything
    Now I know, I know, I know
    I'm waiting on Christ the King

    I showed up at Malvern Hill (Oh well, oh well, oh well)
    I call it my first big kill (Oh well, oh well, oh well)
    I joined up to have some fun (Oh well, oh well, oh well)
    But man, do these boys die young (Oh well, oh well, oh well)

    I never knew this before
    Now I know, I know, I know
    I'm learning a whole lot more

    I showed up in Charlottesville
    You make of it what you will
    Yeah, now I'm just running past (Oh well, oh well, oh well)
    These fine people with baseball bats (Oh well, oh well, oh well)

    I never knew anything
    Now I know, I know, I know
    I'm calling on Christ the King
    Now I know, I know, I know
    I never knew this before
    Now I know, I know, I know
    I'm learning a whole lot more Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Esau's Heel from RichmondThe obliqueness of many of their lyrics are part of the Connells charm, their moodiness. Each listener will have their own take. Rock on Connells. I am very excited to be able to see them on Brown's Island July 13th.
