I'll sing a little song,
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)
