Ry Cooder - I'm A Good Old Rebel lyrics

(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
