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
Yeeeeehaw! 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
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 givin’ you a dieing man’s request’
‘I’m givin’ you a dieing man’s request’
Oh, the South’s gonna rise again!
Jeb Stewart spurred his horse and the Yankees run of course
But there wasn’t any powder in 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
Yeeeeehaw! Oh, the South’s gonna rise again!
