Lyrics

My good ol' rebel soldier, and that's just what I am! For this "fair land of freedom" I do not give a damn! I'm glad we fit against it, I only wished we'd won! And I do not want any pardon to anything I done! I hates constitution and this great republic too! I hate the Freedmen's Buro, in uniforms are blue! I hate the nasty eagle, with all its braggs and fuss! and the lyin' thievin' Yankees, I hates 'em wuss and wuss! I hates the Yankee nation and everything they do! I hates the Declaration of Independence too! I hates the glorious Union, 'Tis dripping with our blood! and I hate their striped banner! and I fit it all I could! I followed the old Naust' Robert, for 4 years near about! Got wounded in 3 places, and starved at Point Lookout I catched the rheumatism, campin' in the snow, But I kill a chance of Yankees, and I'd to kill some more! Three-hundred thousand Yankees is stiff in southern dust, We got Three-hundred thousand before they conquered, They died of southern fever and southern steel and shout! But I wish we have 3 million instead of what we've got! I can't take up my Musket and fight 'em anymore, but I ain't gonna love 'em, Now that is certain sure! I do not want no pardon for what I was and am, and I won't be reconstructed and I do not give a damn!
