When I first heard the lyrics, I thought they were some sort of parody, was kinda shocked to find out those, apart from the horse bit, are the actual lyrics. Here are some alternative Union lyrics: O I'm a good old Yankee, Now that's just what I am. I love this land of freedom I fight for Uncle Sam. I'm glad I fought for it, I'm proud that we have won, The Traitors get no pardon For anything they've done. I hate the Confederacy, I hate Jeff Davis too, I hate the slave plantations, I hate them through and through. I hate the nasty stars and bars, Further the Dixie Cross The lying murderous rebels, I celebrate their loss. I hate the Traitor nation And everything they do, I hate their secession, That slaver's power coup. I hate the institution Of slavery and blood I hate their "Stainless Banner" I'd stain it with some mud. I rode with U.S. Grant, For two years near about, Both humble and a hero Took Vicksburg calm and stout We frightened old Virginia And also Bobby Lee, Should he be resurrected I'd hang him on a tree. Three hundred thousand Traitors Lay stiff in their own dust, We got three hundred thousand We made their "Nation" bust They died of Northern fire And Northern steel and shot, I wish they where five million Instead of what we got. And now I take my musket To go fight them once more, Destroy the Ku Klux Klan Now that is certain sure, And I will give no pardon Once I will arrive They shall be reconstructed, Dead of alive. PS Great work on your Union songs, keep it up!
Great video man! But all jokes aside, your videos have basically changed the way I live. Everyday when I’m driving to work, I play your songs. Working as a little wage slave at 15 bucks an hour. It’s sad. Workers are the reason society succeeds.
Beautiful. Every second. Especially where you messed up the lyrics, like 99% of the Dixie Sore Losers do, and the sore loser crying. Happy April Fools, Comrade
🎶 ohhh imma dead ole rebel , that’s just what I am I fought for slavery, for that my soul is damned I charged with George Pickett , hos could it get worse? Then I saw General Lee balls deep inside his horse Then Sherman burnt my house down , it really made me cry Them hanks howled bout how ole Stonewall died But now I’m dead , I can finally rest Go up to heaven , hang out with the best Stopped and turnt away, from the paradise of heaven By John Fucking Brown with an AK 47
Hey, I recently came into possession of a 1973 IWW songbook, and I've noted theres a couple of forgotten wobbly songs in it, would there be a way I could contact you to send you the songs?
I only found this because I was searching for a piano version of this song. I was amazed that it wasn't there a few weeks ago when I looked. The South will rise again, were there any anarchist tunes you know of you could play? I heard one called Di Yiddishe Anarhisten or something like that... Oh, really skilful, too😂
