Ry Cooder - I'm A Good Old Rebel Lyrics
(traditional, arranged by ry cooder)Oh, Im a good old rebelNow thats just what I amFor this fair land of freedomI do not care a damn.Im glad I fought against itI only wish wed won.And I dont want no pardonFor anything Ive done.I hates the yankee nationAnd everything they do,I hates the declarationOf independence, too;I hates the glorious union-tis dripping with our blood-And I hates their striped banner,I fought it all I could.Three hundred thousand yankeesStiffen in southern dustWe got three hundred thousandBefore they conquered usThey died of southern feverAnd southern steel and shotAnd I wish it was three millionInstead of what we got.I want to reconstruct itIm better now than thenAnd for that carpet beggarI dont give a damnSo Im a forward the frontierSoon as I can goI could bear a weaponAnd start for mexico
