lyrics

My daddy was a rebel in the southern cavalry
Drafted to the army in the spring of '63
Rebel he was born, rebel he will die

My baby brother fought them devils on the day Atlanta fell
Joined the state militia, ripe old fightin' age of twelve
Rebel he was born, rebel he will die

And where I'm goin' ain't as important as fast as I've been livin'
One more ride along the road, gonna seal my ragged fate
And what I know ain't as important as the love that I've been given
If it's something you wanna die for yankee soldier won't ya come on down

That union army's marchin' down here to impose them yankee ways
And there's some good ol' boys behind that hill just waitin' to make their day
To the glory songs of dixie we'lll sing ourselves back home
Leave that yankee layin' where he plunders and he roams

Oh Lord I hates the yankee nation, I hates the yankee laws
Won't the good Lord put his grace upon our cannons and our cause
Cause rebels we were born, and rebels we will die
Rebels we will die, rebels we will die

So if our southern cause is lost and our southern rights denied
And I had it all to do again, you know I'd stand and fight
We killed 300,000, I only wish we won
And I don't want no pardon for anything I done
