Johnny Rebel – I Am A Rebel Soldier tab
Chords:
Am O Polly O Polly, Am G Am It's for your sake alone, Am I've left my old father Am G Am My country and my home, Am I've left my old mother Am G Am To weep and to mourn Am D Dm I am a Rebel soldier Dm Am And far from my home. Am It's grape shot and musket Am G Am And the cannons lumber loud, Am There's many a mangled body Am G Am The blanket for their shroud, Am There's many a mangled body Am G Am Left on the fields alone, Am D Dm I am a Rebel soldier Dm Am 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.
