I`M A GOOD OLD REBEL

<br>(Traditional, arranged by Ry Cooder) <br><br>Oh, I`m a good old Rebel <br>Now that`s just what I am <br>For this fair land of freedom <br>I do not care a damn. <br>I`m glad I fought against it <br>I only wish we`d won. <br>And I don`t want no pardon <br>For anything I`ve done. <br><br>I hates the Yankee nation <br>And everything they do, <br>I hates the Declaration <br>Of Independence, too; <br>I hates the glorious Union- <br>`Tis dripping with our blood- <br>And I hates their striped banner, <br>I fought it all I could. <br><br>Three hundred thousand Yankees <br>Stiffen in Southern dust <br>We got three hundred thousand <br>Before they conquered us <br>They died of Southern fever <br>And Southern steel and shot <br>And I wish it was three million <br>Instead of what we got. <br><br>I won`t be reconstructed<br>I`m better now than then<br>and for that carpetbagger<br>I do not give a damn<br>so I`m off for the frontier<br>soon as I can go<br>I`ll prepare a weapon<br>and start for Mexico
