 This is an old American Civil War folk song, if written by a confederate soldier.
 Oh, I'm  a good ol' rebel
 Now that's  just what I  am
 And for  this Yankee nation
 I do  not give  a damn.
 I'm glad  I fought again'er
 I only  wish we'd 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
 'Tis dripping  with our blood
 I hates  the striped banner
 And fought  it all I could.
 I rode  with Robert E. Lee
 For three  years there about
 Got wounded  in four places
 And I starved  at Point  Lookout.
 I caughtch'd  the rheumatism
 A campin'  in the snow
 But I  killed a chance of Yankees
 And I'd  like to kill some more.
 Three hundred  thousand Yankees
 Is stiff  in southern  dust
 We got  three hundred thousand
 Before  they conquered us.
 They died  of southern fever
 And southern  steel and shot
 I wish  they was three million
 Instead  of what we got.
 I can't  take up my musket
 And fight  'em now no more
 But I  ain't gonna love 'em
 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.
 Oh, I'm  a good ol' rebel
 Now that's  just what I  am
 And for  this Yankee nation
 I do  not give  a damn.
 I'm glad  I fought again'er
 I only  wish we'd won
 I ain't  asked any pardon
 For anything  I've done.
 I ain't  asked any pardon
 For anything  I've done...
