A few minor corrections throughout. Still missing the big hole towards then end.
CONFEDERATE FLAG (as recorded by Don Reno & Red Smiley)
Our beloved way of life, in the Southland's lazy way Came into being as many words would say Plantations, fertile fields, and colonnaded home A symbol of the Southland, its dignity and woe
Many slaves were slowly getting freedom's taste As time-measured means, back then, to stop a war in haste The War Between the States, South's blood and honor marred They found their glorious flag red and white with stars and bars
A waving fabric cloth, honors white and colors red Reminds us of the promises that warring looms at bay The purity in its blue, ladyhood and southern belle Rebels Lee, Jackson and Stuart, they never cease to tell
Battle-borne and battered, proudly waves through all the fray Bullet-scarred and blood-stained; "never leave us" they did pray When Appomattox came, in marched the Rebel men They stacked their guns that caused this loss to assault the flag again
The loss of Southern Cause ??????????? Never will the South surrender, its stars and bars displayed
