Ry Cooder - I`m A Good Old Rebel слова песни
(Traditional, arranged by Ry Cooder)
Oh, I`m a good old Rebel
Now that`s just what I am
For this fair land of freedom
I do not care a damn.
I`m glad I fought against it
I only wish we`d won.
And I don`t want no 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-
And I hates their striped banner,
I fought it all I could.
Three hundred thousand Yankees
Stiffen in Southern dust
We got three hundred thousand
Before they conquered us
They died of Southern fever
And Southern steel and shot
And I wish it was three million
Instead of what we got.
I want to reconstruct it
I`m better now than then
And for that carpet beggar
I don`t give a damn
So I`m a forward the frontier
Soon as I can go
I could bear a weapon
And start for Mexico
