Transpose:
Am
O Polly O Polly,
Am                 G Am
It's for your sake alone,
Am
I've left my old father
Am             G  Am           
My country and my home,
Am
I've left my old mother
Am          G  Am                           
To weep and to mourn
Am           D        Dm
I am a Rebel soldier
Dm              Am
And far from my home.


Am
It's grape shot and musket
Am                  G  Am
And the cannons lumber loud,
Am
There's many a mangled body
Am              G    Am  
The blanket for their shroud,
Am
There's many a mangled body
Am                 G  Am
Left on the fields alone,
Am           D        Dm        
I am a Rebel soldier
Dm              Am
And far from my home.


I'll eat when I'm hungry
I'll drink when I am dry,
If the Yankees dont kill me
I'll live until I die,
If the Yankees dont kill me
And cause me to mourn,
I am a Rebel soldier
And far from my home.


Here's a good old cup of brandy
And a glass of nice wine,
You can drink to your true love
And I will drink to mine,
And you can drink to your true love
And I'll lament and mourn,
I am a Rebel soldier
And far from my home.


I'll build me a castle on the mountain
On some green mountain high,
Where I can see Polly
As she is passing by,
Where I can see Polly
And help her to mourn,
I am a Rebel soldier
And far from my home.
