The Good Old Rebel, a song from the point of view of the South, after the war. "Oh, I'm a good old rebel, non that's just what I am / For this fair Land of Freedom I do not care a damn / I'm glad I fought against it, I only wish we'd won / And I don't want no pardon for anything I've done" (etc). The first recording I heard was on Folkways, another very good one is on the soundrack of the movie The Long Riders (about Jesse James's band), music arranged by Ry Cooder. R
