Quicksilver Messenger Service – Rebel lyrics

Quicksilver Messenger Service – Rebel lyrics

I am a good old Rebel, that's exactly what I am,
The open land of freedom, I do not give a damn.
We heard a thousand Yankees, well I'm dead on that Southern thing,
We got three hundred thousand, all they ever got next to us.
They gather the Southern people at an old Southern steel shop,
And I wish we'd got three million more, mud we've got.
I can't take off my musket, fire now no more,
But I ain't gonna rebel, yes I got damn sure.
You don't want no part in what I've done or am,
And I will not be reconstructed and I do not give a damn

The lyrics are unambiguous and speak for themselves. BUT: You have to get the lyrics correct, LMFAO. The guy who posted the above lyrics is the same guy who thought Johnny Cash was tellin' that ol' boy in Ring of Fire 'I fell for your wife and child; oooo that fire wuz wild." Anyway:

I am a good ol' rebel, that's exactly what I am
For your fair land of freedom I do not give a damn
You know, three hundred thousand Yankees lie dead on that Southern dust
We got three hundred thousand, though they never got next to us
They died of the Southern fever, of ol' Southern steel shot
And I wish we'd got three million more than what we got
I can't take up my musket and fight 'em now no more
But I ain't gonna love 'em, that's for goddam sure
Don't want no pardon for what I've done or am
And I will not be reconstructed and I do not give a damn.
