Lyrics
(Traditional, arranged by ry cooder)
Oh, I'm a good old rebel Now that's just what I am For this fair land of freedom I do not care a damn I'm glad I fought against it I only wish we'd won And I don't want no pardon For anything I've done
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 hates their striped banner I fought it all I could
Three hundred thousand yankees Stiffen in southern dust We got three hundred thousand Before they conquered us They died of southern fever And southern steel and shot And I wish it was three million Instead of what we got
I won't be reconstructed I'm better now than then And for that carpetbagger I do not give a damn So I'm off for the frontier Soon as I can go I'll prepare a weapon And start for mexico
