Uncle Jim's Rebel Soldier (Oh, I'm a Good Old Rebel)

by Harry "Haywire Mac" McClintock

on Haywire Mac (1972)

Now that's just what I am
And for this yankee nation
I do not give a damn
I'm glad I fought a ganner
I only wish we won
I ain't asked any 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, t'is dripping with our blood
I hates the striped banner, and fit it all I couldI rode with Robert E. Lee
For three years, thereabout
Got wounded in four places
And I starved at point lookout
I catched the rheumatism
A campin' in the snow
But I killed a chance of Yankees
And 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 'um down no more
But I ain't gonna love 'um
Now 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
