John D. Hale Band — Rebel Soldier lyrics

Lyrics

I came back from the Civil War just 22 years old I done killed near 50 men now
the devil owns my soul well ive always been a
Christian man and thats not hard to tell but with all the killin that ive done
well ill surely go to hell well i am a rebel
Soldier no im not afraid to fight for the lives of the innocent and all my
southern pride well i am a rebel soldier no im not
Afraid to die you may hang me in the mornin but ill haunt you in the night me
and my brothers went to war i was the oldest of
The three i was the only one who came home to a murdered family well the yanks
they burned my house down with my family
Inside and my dad got shot tryin to fight em off and they left me there to die
well i am a rebel soldier no im not afraid to
Fight for the lives of the innocent and all my southern pride well i am a rebel
soldier no im not afraid to die you may hang
Me in the mornin but ill haunt you in the night me and my friends got together
to start a guerilla band to track down t
Hem sons a b****** that torched up all our land we left early in the mornin on
the 14th of July and by the 27th of the very
Same month we put em in the by and by well i am a rebel soldier no im not
afraid to fight for the lives of the innocent and
All my southern pride well i am a rebel soldier no im not afraid to die you may
hang me in the mornin but ill haunt you in
The night now i am a wanted outlaw bounty hunters on my trail theres a law man
behind every tree wants to put me in the jail
Well they cornered me in August of the very same year and by noon on the next i
was hangin by rope with a grin from ear to
Ear well i am a rebel soldier no im not afraid to fight for the lives of the
innocent and all my southern pride well i am a
Rebel soldier no im not afraid to die you may hang me in the mornin but ill
