Bouregard and General Lee
and Stonewall Jackson too
Braxton Bragg and old Joe Johnston
just to name a few
They are our hero's them and more
who fought against the blue
sons of the south and oh so brave
who to the cause were true
Of tattered flags and cannon balls
and faded coat's of grey
of rebel yells and rifle shells
and discord every day
death and pain and hunger
to them were nothing new
the blond young boy of just sixteen
the old man bent and shrewd
the new recruit, the life long vet
with shoulders laced with gold
all sang the praises of the south
as they fought through storms and cold
Old Jubal Early, Hampton too
and don't forget Brevard
they did not live or die in vein
they had their just reward
