Sang by the group Songs Of The Civil War Hoydt Axton
Oh, Im a good old rebel
Now thats just what I am
And for this yankee nation
I do no give a damn.
Im glad I fit fought against er her
I only wish wed won
I aint asked any pardon
For anything Ive done.
I hates the Yankee nation
And eveything they do
I hates the declaration
Of independence too.
I hates the glorious union
Tis dripping with our blood
I hates the striped banner
And fit fought it all I could.
I rode with Robert E. Lee
For three years there about
Got wounded in four places
And I starved at Pint Point Lookout.
I coutch caught the roomatism rheumatism
Campin in the snow
But I killed a chance of Yankees
And Id like to kill some mo. more.
Three hundred thousand Yankees
Is stiff in southern dust
We got three hundred thousand
Before they conquered us.
They died of southern fever
And southern steel and shot
I wish they was three million
Instead of what we got.
I cant take up my musket
And fight em down no mo more
But I aint a-goin to love em them
Now that is serten sho. certain sure.
And I dont want no pardon
For what I was and am
I wont be reconstructed
And I do not give a damn.
Oh, Im a good old rebel
Now thats just what I am
And for this Yankee nation
I do no give a damn.
Im glad I fought against er her
I only wish wed won
I aint asked any pardon
For anything Ive done.
I aint asked any pardon
For anything Ive done…
