T Warren, RIP My Friend (Author of The Seven Blackbirds)

It’s Been A Long Hard Road 2010 Tour, Cape Carteret, NC

(My great grandfather and great uncles. BT)

T had a difficult time writing it for about a year, then was in a graveyard one day and immediately sat down and penned it all.

Seven Blackbirds from Border Ruffians Southron Steel CD

Seven Blackbirds sittin’ on a fence

Took up arms for their loved one’s defense

Seven brothers all left home

Throughout the war their valor shown.

To their grandfather, mother and sisters

Letters to home were written

Those letters survive and it’s a fittin’

So does the photo of them on the fence sittin’.

The Pippen boys, no different than others

‘Jined the fight, they went as brothers

Their mother knew they would not all return

Deep in her heart that sorrow did burn.

One fell early, another soon followed

The places they fell became hallowed

Four brothers remained, they fought on

In a few short months another was gone.

The Blackbirds fought ’till the fightin’ ended

Barefoot and worn they walked home defenseless

They found their mother and sister waitin’ there

Sorrow and sadness filled the Carolina air.

In Tarboro County the family lives on

In the same home place where The Blackbirds begun

The Pippen family shows no sign of end

And I for one am most proud to call ‘em friends.
