This is an old American Civil War song written obviously by a confederate soldier. It
me awhile to figure out the exact chords because the one other tab i found was completely
But this here is completely right.
And because this is an old folk song go ahead and feel free to change the lyrics however
feel when you play it. Folk music will never die. Enjoy!
Oh, AI'm a good old rebel
Now Ethat's just what IA am
And Afor this Yankee nation
I Edo no giveE a damn.
I'm Dglad I fought again 'er
I Aonly wish we'd won
I Aain't asked any pardon
For Eanything I've Adone.
I Ahates the Yankee nation
And Eeverything theyA do
I Ahates the declaration
Of EindependenceE too.
I Dhates the glorious union
'Tis Adripping with our blood
I Ahates the striped banner
And Efit (fought) it all I Acould.
I Arode with Robert E. Lee
For Ethree years there Aabout
Got Awounded in four places
And I Estarved at PointE Lookout.
I Dcoutch (caught) the roomatism (rheumatism)
A Acampin' in the snow
But AI killed a chance of Yankees
And EI'd like to kill some Amore.
Three Ahundred thousand Yankees
Is Estiff in southernA dust
We Agot three hundred thousand
BeEfore they conquered Eus.
They Ddied of southern fever
And Asouthern steel and shot
I Awish they was three million
InEstead of what we Agot.
I Acan't take up my musket
And Efight 'em now no Amore
But AI ain't goin' to love 'em
Now Ethat is certain Esure
And DI don't want no pardon
For Awhat I was and am
I Awon't be reconstructed
And I Edo not give a Adamn.
Oh, AI'm a good old rebel
Now Ethat's just what IA am
And Afor this Yankee nation
I Edo no giveE a damn.
I'm Dglad I fought again 'er
I Aonly wish we'd won
I Aain't asked any pardon
For Eanything I've Adone.
I Aain't asked any pardon
For Eanything I've Adone...
