Rebel Soldier Oh Polly, oh Polly, it's for your sake alone I've left my old father, my country, my home I've left my old mother to weep and to mourn I am a rebel soldier and far from my home The great shot and musket and the canons lumber loud it's many of mangled body the blanket for the shroud it's many of mangled body left on the fields alone (REF) I am a rebel soldier and far from my home I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink whem I am dry if the Yankees don't kill me, I'll live until I die if the Yankees don't kill me and cause me to mourn (REF) I am a rebel soldier and far from my home Here's a good old cup of brandy and a glass of nice wine you can drink to your true love and I will drink to mine you can drink to your true love and I will ammend and mourne (REF) I am a rebel soldier and far from my home I'll build me a castle on some green mountain high where I can see my Polly as she goes passing by where I can see my Polly and help her to mourn I am a rebel soldier and far away from home
