Confederate Anthem - David Allan Coe

Verse 1:
  A                E     A
Oh, I'm a good old rebel, now that's just what I am,
  A            E
And for this Yankee nation, I do not give a damn,
  D             A
I'm glad I fought again' her, I only wish we'd won,
  A             E       A
I ain't asked any pardon for anything I've done ...

Verse 2:
  A              E        A
I hates the Yankee nation, and everything they do,
 A            E
I hates the Declaration Of Independence too,
 D             A
I hates the glorious Union, 'tis dripping with our blood,
 A              E      A
I hates the striped banner, I fit it all I could ...

Verse 3:
 A              E         A
I rode with Robert E. Lee for three years thereabout,
        A          E
Got wounded in four places, and I starved at Point Lookout,
 D             A
I cauched the rheumatism, a-camping in the snow,
   A                  E         A
But I killed a chance of Yankees, and I'd like to kill some more ...

Verse 4:
   A              E         A
Three hundred thousand Yankees is stiff in Southern dust,
  A             E
We got three hundred thousand before they conquered us,
   D             A
They died of Southern fever and Southern steel and shot,
 A               E         A
I wish there were three million, instead of what we got ...

Verse 5:
  A                E    A
I can't take up my musket, and fight 'em now no more,
  A              E
But I ain't gonna love 'em, now that is certain sure,
  D             A
And I don't want no pardon for what I was and am,
 A            E          A
I won't be reconstructed, and I do not give a damn ...

Verse 6:
  A                E     A
Oh, I'm a good old rebel, now that's just what I am,
A            E
for this Yankee nation, I do not give a damn,
  D             A
I'm glad I fought again' her, I only wish we'd won,
 A              E       A
I ain't asked any pardon, for anything I've done ...
 A              E       A
I ain't asked any pardon, for anything I've done.
