Thread Name: Origins: Unreconstructed rebel/Good Old Rebel
Subject: RE: Unreconstructed rebel
This is the way it was passed down to me:
Oh, I'm a Jolly Rebel
Yes, by God, I am
And for this land of freedom, suh
I do not give a damn
I'm glad we fought agin 'em
But I wish to hell we'd won
I don't ask your pardon
for anything I've done
I fought with ol' Marse Robert
Four years or there about
I wandered in the Wilderness
And fought at Point Lookout
I caught the rheumatism
A campin in the snow
But I killed a lot of Yankees
And I wish I'd killed some mo
Three hunderd thousand yankees
Lie buried in our dust
It took four years of fightin'
For them to conquer us
They died of Southern Fever
and Southern shot and shell
But I wish there'd been ten thousand more
God Damn their souls to hell!
I hates the Spangled Banner
The Constitution too
I hates the Freedmens Bureau
With Niggers dressed in Blue
I hates the Bald headed eagle
With all his fire and fuss
But those low down thievin' yankees
Great God I hate em worse
I hates the Yankee Nation
And everythin they do
I hates the Declaration
of Independence too
I hates the glorious union
They's drippin with our blood
And I hates the stupid banner
I fought it all I could
