Bobby Horton - The Rebel Soldier Lyrics
Oh, Polly! Oh, Polly! It's for your sake alone,I left my dear old father, my country and my home,I left my dear old mother to weep and to mourn -I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!It's grape-shot and muskets and the cannon lumber loud,There's many a mangled body, with dew for it's shroud,There's many a mangled body left on the field's alone -I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!You'll drink your fine brandy, and I will drink my wine,You can drink to your true love, and I will drink to mine,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 eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry,If the Yankees don't kill me, I'll live until I die,If the Yankees don't kill me and cause me to mourn -I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!I'll build me a castle on some green mountain high,So, I can see Polly as she comes passing by,So, I can see Polly and help her to mourn -I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!
