  • peas peas eating goober peas i love this song and i am a renactor

  • This was written for the union army, by some songwriters by the us government during the civil war. It used to change morale and to get the soldiers to enjoy eating a cheap, plentiful, staple food which was peanuts (goober peas)

  • @mandra299 The lyrics of "Goober Peas" are a fairly accurate description of daily life during the last few years of the Civil War for Southerners. After being cut off from the rail lines and their farm land, they had little to eat aside from boiled peanuts (or "goober peas") which often served as an emergency ration. from Wikipedia

  • This is the world's best song
