This is an old American Civil War folk song, if written by a confederate soldier.


    AOh, I'm a good ol' rebel
    E                 ANow that's just what I am

    AAnd for this Yankee nation
  E         EI do not give a damn.
    DI'm glad I fought again'er
  AI only wish we'd won
  AI ain't asked any pardon
    E             AFor anything I've done.

  AI hates the Yankee nation
    E              AAnd everything they do
  AI hates the declaration
   E           EOf independence too.
  DI hates the glorious union
     A'Tis dripping with our blood
  AI hates the striped banner
    E                     AAnd fought it all I could.

  AI rode with Robert E. Lee
    E                 AFor three years there about
    AGot wounded in four places
      E               EAnd I starved at Point Lookout.
  DI caughtch'd the rheumatism
  AA campin' in the snow
    ABut I killed a chance of Yankees
    E                     AAnd I'd like to kill some more.

      AThree hundred thousand Yankees
   E                AIs stiff in southern dust
   AWe got three hundred thousand
  E                   EBefore they conquered us.
     DThey died of southern fever
    AAnd southern steel and shot
  AI wish they was three million
  E                AInstead of what we got.

  AI can't take up my musket
    E                AAnd fight 'em now no more
    ABut I ain't gonna love 'em
    E               ENow that is certain sure
    DAnd I don't want no pardon
    AFor what I was and am
  AI won't be reconstructed
      E             AAnd I do not give a damn.

    AOh, I'm a good ol' rebel
    E                 ANow that's just what I am
    AAnd for this Yankee nation
  E         EI do not give a damn.
    DI'm glad I fought again'er
  AI only wish we'd won
  AI ain't asked any pardon
    E             AFor anything I've done.

  AI ain't asked any pardon
    E             AFor anything I've done...
