Yes.
Oh, I’m a good ol’ rebel, Now that’s just what I am, and for this “fair land of freedom”, I do not care a damn.
I’m glad I fought against her, I only wish we’d won.
And I don’t want no pardon for anything I’ve done.
I hate the constitution, this great republic, too.
I hate the freedman’s bureau in uniforms of blue.
I hate the nasty eagle with all his brags and fuss.
The lying, thieving Yankees I hate ‘em worse and worse.
I hate the Yankee nation and everything they do.
I hate the declaration of independence, too.
I hate the glorious union, just dripping with our blood.
I hate the striped banner, I fought it all I could.
I followed ol’ Robert E. Lee for fours years or thereabout.
Got wounded in three places and I starved at point lookout. I caught the Rheumatism campin’ in the snow.
But I killed a chance of Yankees, I’d like to kill some more.
3 hundred thousand Yankees is stiff in southern dust.We got 3 hundred thousand before they conquered us. They died of southern fever and southern steel and shot.
I wish there were 3 million, instead of what we got.
I can’t pick up my musket and fight ‘em down no more. But, I ain’t gonna love ‘em, that is 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.
Well, fuck. I miss it all.
