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

And for this Yankee nation
E E
I do not give a damn.

I'm glad I fought again'er
A
I only wish we'd won
A
I ain't asked any pardon

For anything I've done.

For anything I've done...
