THE REBEL SONG Sung by: Berry Sutterfield Recorded in Marshall, AR 6/14/63 Click here to listen to the original recording And I think it nothing wrong 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. Well, I had a little gun, And I called it number one. Shot a 'leven pound bum, Uncle Sam, as they come. (Chorus) Well, I had a little gun, And I called it number two. Hurraw, Abe, We'll put the Rebels through. (Chorus) I had a little gun, And I called it number three. Hurrow, Abe, We'll set the nigger free. (Chorus) There's old General Scott He's got the day sot To march down to Murfreesburg To see the Rebels 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) |
