Jimmie Driftwood - I'm a Pore Rebel Soldier lyrics



My Molly won't love me and she won't tell me why,
so I'll join Price's army and fight 'till I die.
I don't mind the Federals, they just make me mad,
but when Molly won't love me, it hurts me so bad.

I'm a poor rebel soldier, a long ways from home
The fusses and the Federals won't leave me alone
The fusses and the Federals have caused me to roam
I'm a poor rebel soldier and a long ways from home

My Mammy's against me, she says it's a shame, to go with the rebels, if fightins my game
My brothers ol' Shermans, and my Daddies ol' Grants but I'll stay with Price 'till they take off my pants.

I'm a poor rebel soldier, a long ways from home
The fusses and the Federals won't leave me alone
The fusses and the Federals have caused me to roam
I'm a poor rebel soldier and a long ways from home

They say it's all over, Price laid down the law, so I'll go back home and have Hell with my Pa
They may take my country and they may take my gun, but I'll still be a rebel and a true Southern son
I'll hang up my rifle and give up my gin, and hope that my Molly will love me again
I'll build me a cabin on the mountain top, high and be a good rebel 'till the day that I die

I'm a poor rebel soldier, a long ways from home
The fusses and the Federals won't leave me alone
The fusses and the Federals have caused me to roam
I'm a poor rebel soldier and a long ways from home
