THE REBEL SONG Sung by: Mr. Berry Sutterfield Recorded in Big Flat, AR 8/30/58 Click here to listen to the original recording To drive all the Rebels right where they belong. Chorus: And I'll raise a Union band to make the Rebels understand To leave our land or submit to Uncle Sam. I had a little gun and I called it Number One: Shot eleven-pound bum, and I'll slam as they come. (Chorus) I had a little gun, and I called it Number Two. Hurr-o, Abe, we'll put the Rebels through. (Chorus) I had a little gun and I called it Number Three, Hurr-o, Abe, we'll set the nigger free. (Chorus) There's old General Rose Scott; he's got the day sot To march down to Murfreesboro to see the Rebel trot. (Chorus) We'll march down to Wildcat to see a little fun; We'll march down to Wildcat to see the Rebels run. (Chorus) (Mr. Sutterfield: "I learned this song from Pensin Taylor. He lived, at that time, at Leslie, Arkansas, about fifty years ago. I call it 'The Little Rebel Song.'") |
