You must have missed the homosexual reference:
"We'll play the bango gaily"
And the original version, of course, starts like this: "There's a yellow rose in Texas, that I am going to see, No other darky knows her, no darky only me..." So the original version doubly embraces persons of color and then makes homage to the homo.
Of course, one would need to omit the verse added in 1864 which includes:
"You may talk about your Beauregard, and sing of Bobbie Lee,
But the gallant Hood of Texas played hell in Tennessee. "
And now I'm headed southward, for my heart is full of woe,
I'm going back to Georgia, to find my Uncle Joe.
You may talk about your Beauregard and sing of Bobbie Lee,
But the gallant Hood of Texas played hell in Tennessee.
Uncle Joe refers to Joseph Johnston, of course, not to Joseph Stalin (who had not yet been born as of 1864). Not sure if I have all the words exactly right but at any rate close to what I remember reading.
