I came back from the Civil War just 22 years old
I done killed near 50 men, and now the devil owns my soul
Well i've always been a christian man and that's not hard to tell
But with all the killin' that ive done, well i'll surely go to hell
Well i am a rebel soldier, no im not afraid to fight
For the lives of the innocent, and all my southern pride
Well i am a rebel soldier. no im not Afraid to die
You may hang me in the mornin' but ill haunt you in the night
Me and my brothers went to war, I was the oldest of the three
I was the only one who came home to a murdered family
Well the yanks they burned my house down with my family inside
And my dad got shot tryin' to fight em off
And they left him there to die
Well i am a rebel soldier no im not afraid to Fight
For the lives of the innocent, and all my southern pride
Well i am a rebel soldier, no im not afraid to die
You may hang me in the mornin', but ill haunt you in the night
Me and my friends got together, to start a guerilla band
To track down them sons a bitches, that torched up all our land
We left early in the mornin' on the 14th of July
And by the 26th of the very same month. we put em in the by and by
Well i am a rebel soldier, no im not afraid to fight
For the lives of the innocent, and all my southern pride
Well i am a rebel soldier, no im not afraid to die
You may hang me in the mornin', but ill haunt you in the night
Now i am a wanted outlaw, bounty hunters on my trail
There's a law man behind every tree wants to put me in the jail
Well they cornered me in August, of the very same year
And by noon on the next day
I was hangin by rope with a grin from ear to ear
Well i am a rebel soldier, no im not afraid to fight
For the lives of the innocent and all my southern pride
Well i am a rebel soldier, no im not afraid to die
You may hang me in the mornin', but ill haunt you in the night
