Após a perda da Confederação para os EUA na Guerra Civil Americana, "I'm a Good Ol 'Rebel" foi criado como um poema pelo ex-major da Confederação James Innes Randolph na década de 1860. Sua música foi baseada na música Minstrel "Joe Bowers".
Letra:
Oh, I'm a good old rebel
now that's just what I am
For this fair land of freedom
I do not care a damn
I'm glad I fought against it
I only wish we'd won
and I don't want no pardon
for anything I've done
I hates the constitution
This Great Republic too
I hates the freedman's bureau
in uniforms blue
I hates the nasty eagle
with all it's brags and fuss
And the lying, thieving Yankees
I hates 'em wuss and wuss
I hates the Yankee nation
and everything they do
I hates the declaration
of independence too
I hates the "Glorious Union"
'tis dripping with our blood
I hates their striped banner
and I fit it all I could
I followed old Marse Robert
for 4 years, near about
Got wounded in 3 places
and starved at Point Lookout
I caught the Rheumatism
while camping in the snow
But I killed a chance o' Yankees
and I'd like to kill some more
Three hundred thousand Yankees
stiff in Southern dust
We got three hundred thousand
before they conquered us
They died of Southern fever
and Southern steel and shot
I whish there was 3 million
instead of what we got
I can't take up my musket
and fight 'em now no more
But I ain't gonna love 'em
now that's for sartain sure
And I don't want no pardon
for what I was and am
I won't be reconstructed
and I don't care a damn
Oh, I'm a good old rebel
now that's just what I am...
Oh, I'm a good old rebel
now that's just what I am!
