Herschell Gordon Lewis — Theme From 2000 Maniacs lyrics

Lyrics

There’s a story you should know
From a hundred years ago
And a hundred years we’ve waited now to tell
Now, the Yankees come along
And they’ll listen to this song
And they’ll quake in fear to hear this rebel yell
(And they’ll quake in fear to hear this rebel yell)
(Heee-haw!
Oh, the South’s gonna rise again!
Heee-haw!
Oh, the South’s gonna rise again!)
Robert E. Lee
Broke his musket on his knee
And a thousand pieces shattered on the ground
But he looked up then
And he gathered up his men
And from his lips there came an awful sound
(And from his lips there came an awful sound)
(Heee-haw!
Oh, the South’s gonna rise again!
Heee-haw!
Oh, the South’s gonna rise again!)
Stonewall took a gun
And he made the Yankees run
But he took a fatal bullet in the chest
As he fell down dead
Old Stonewall said
«I'm a-givin' you a dyin' man’s request»
(«I'm a-givin' you a dyin' man’s request»)
(Heee-haw!
Oh, the South’s gonna rise again!
Heee-haw!
Oh, the South’s gonna rise again!)
Jeb Stewart spurred his horse
And the Yankees ran, of course
But there wasn’t any powder for his gun
So he said to his boys
«Let's make a lot of noise
And we’ll charge again and make them Yankees run»
(«And we’ll charge again and make them Yankees run»)
(Heee-haw!
Oh, the South’s gonna rise again!
Heee-haw!
Oh, the South’s gonna rise again!)
Robert E. Lee
Broke his musket on his knee
And a thousand pieces shattered on the ground
But he looked up then
And he gathered up his men
And from his lips there came an awful sound
(And from his lips there came an awful sound)
(Heee-haw!
Oh, the South’s gonna rise again!
Heee-haw!
Oh, the South’s gonna rise again!)
