Oh I'm A Good Old Rebel

Sang by the group: Songs Of The Civil War & Hoydt Axton
 Oh, I'm a good old rebel
 Now thats just what I am
 And for this yankee nation
 I do no give a damn.
 I'm glad I fit (fought) against 'er (her)
 I only wish we'd won
 I ain't asked any pardon
 For anything I've done.
 I hates the Yankee nation
 And eveything they do
 I hates the declaration
 Of independence too.
 I hates the glorious union
 'Tis dripping with our blood
 I hates the striped banner
 And fit (fought) it all I could.
 I rode with Robert E. Lee
 For three years there about
 Got wounded in four places
 And I starved at Pint (Point) Lookout.
 I coutch (caught) the roomatism (rheumatism)
 Campin' in the snow
 But I killed a chance of Yankees
 And I'd like to kill some mo'. (more.)
 Three hundred thousand Yankees
 Is stiff in southern dust
 We got three hundred thousand
 Before they conquered us.
 They died of southern fever
 And southern steel and shot
 I wish they was three million
 Instead of what we got.
 I can't take up my musket
 And fight 'em down no mo' (more)
 But I ain't a-goin' to love 'em (them)
 Now that is serten sho. (certain sure.)
 And I don't want no pardon
 For what I was and am
 I won't be reconstructed
 And I do not give a damn.
 Oh, I'm a good old rebel
 Now that's just what I am
 And for this Yankee nation
 I do no give a damn.
 I'm glad I fought against 'er (her)
 I only wish we'd won
 I ain't asked any pardon
 For anything I've done.
 I ain't asked any pardon
 For anything I've done...
