Im A Good Ol Rebel
MUSIC GOOD OL' REBEL SOLDIER by Major Innes Randolph, C.S.A. Oh, I'm a good old Rebel soldier, now that's just what I am; For this 'Fair Land of Freedom' I do not give a damn! I'm glad I fit against it, I only wish we'd won, And I don't want no pardon for anything I done.
(Traditional, arranged by Ry Cooder)Oh, I'm a good old RebelNow that's just what I amFor this fair land of freedomI do not care a damn.I'm glad I fought against itI only wish we'd won.And I don't want no pardonFor anything I've done.I hates the Yankee nationAnd everything they do,I hates the DeclarationOf Independence, too;I hates the glorious Union-'Tis dripping with our blood-And I hates their striped banner,I fought it all I could.I rode with Robert E. Lee,For three years thereabouts.Got wounded in four placesAnd starved at Point Lookout.I caught the rheumatismA camping in the snow.But I killed a chance of YankeesAnd I'd like to kill some more.Three hundred thousand YankeesStiffen in Southern dustWe got three hundred thousandBefore they conquered usThey died of Southern feverAnd Southern steel and shotAnd I wish it was three millionInstead of what we got.I won't be reconstructedI'm better now than thenAnd for that carpetbaggerI do not give a damnSo I'm off for the frontierSoon as I can goI'll prepare a weaponAnd start for Mexico.
