Though the lyrics to Booth Campbell's recording are (mostly) in the video, I couldn't immediately find them in text version, so I transcribed them from the above. I'll keep thinking on the tune, but that's always a weak point of mine, so no promises. I'M GLAD I'M A GOOD OLD REBEL (as recorded by Booth Campbell) Oh, I'm glad I'm a good old rebel I won't care if I am I won't be reconstructed If I am may I be damned Oh, I followed old Marse Roberts For four years nearabout Got wounded in three places And I started at Camp Lookout Oh, I'm glad I'm a good old rebel Hat, boots, coat, and all I won't be reconstructed No sir, not at all I hate that Yankee nation And all they say and do I hate the Declaration Of Independence, too I hate that striped banner With all its rare and fuss Them lying, thieving Yankees I hate 'em wuss and wuss Oh, I'm glad I'm a good old rebel I don't care if I am I won't be reconstructed No sir, not a damn! I can't take up my musket And fight 'em any more But I ain't a-going to love 'em Now that am certain sure Yes, I'm glad I'm a good old rebel Hat, boots, coat, and all I won't be reconstructed No sir, not at all
