John D. Hale Band - Rebel Soldier lyrics

I came back from the Civil War just 22 years old I done k**ed near 50 men now the devil owns my soul well ive always been a Christian man and thats not hard to tell but with all the k**in that ive done well ill surely go to hell well i am a rebel Soldier no im not afraid to fight for the lives of the innocent and all my southern pride well i am a rebel soldier no im not Afraid to die you may hang me in the mornin but ill haunt you in the night me and my brothers went to war i was the oldest of The three i was the only one who came home to a murdered family well the yanks they burned my house down with my family Inside and my dad got shot tryin to fight em off and they left me there to die well i am a rebel soldier no im not afraid to Fight for the lives of the innocent and all my southern pride well i am a rebel soldier no im not afraid to die you may hang Me in the mornin but ill haunt you in the night me and my friends got together to start a guerilla band to track down t Hem sons a b****** that torched up all our land we left early in the mornin on the 14th of July and by the 27th of the very Same month we put em in the by and by well i am a rebel soldier no im not afraid to fight for the lives of the innocent and All my southern pride well i am a rebel soldier no im not afraid to die you may hang me in the mornin but ill haunt you in The night now i am a wanted outlaw bounty hunters on my trail theres a law man behind every tree wants to put me in the jail Well they cornered me in August of the very same year and by noon on the next i was hangin by rope with a grin from ear to Ear well i am a rebel soldier no im not afraid to fight for the lives of the innocent and all my southern pride well i am a Rebel soldier no im not afraid to die you may hang me in the mornin but ill haunt you in the night
