Johnny Rebel I Am A Rebel Soldier

Текст песни "Johnny Rebel — I Am A Rebel Soldier"

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

Am
It's grape shot and musket
AmGAm
And the cannons lumber loud,
Am
There's many a mangled body
AmGAm
The blanket for their shroud,
Am
There's many a mangled body
Am GAm
Left on the fields alone,
Am DDm
I am a Rebel soldier
DmAm
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.
