Colonel Lou - Johnny Rebel
D
Johnny Reb was from the Southland
A D
Where the cotton grows so tall
G D
And at the age of seventeen
A D
He heard his country's call.
He kissed his poor old mother,
A D
He told his dad good bye.
G D
He checked his trusty rifle
A D
And he kept his powder dry.
D
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb,
G D
why did you have to go?
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb,
A D
Aw we miss you so!

D
They sent him off to Georgia
A D
To join the boys in grey.
G D
He fought his only battle
A D
On a cold and rainy day.
He cocked his gun and wet his sights,
A D
Then he looked around
G D
And every Yank that showed himself,
A D
He quickly brought him down.

Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb,
G D
why did you have to go?

Aw we miss you so!

D
When the fighting stopped they found him,
A D
He was barely alive.
G D
But the Union troops that he brought down,
A D
They counted forty-five.
They found him lying in a ditch
A D
when he breathed his last goodbye,
G D A D
"My heart for our old Southland boys and keep our flag hold high!"
