Title: Rebel

I've looked through the first ten pages of results from a Google search for lyrics to this song, and every single link leads to a GRAVELY inaccurate, half-hearted attempt at transcribing it. I took these down on my own, and I can assure you that they are 100% accurate. If you want to have a good laugh, though, go ahead and look up the lyrics online. They're actually pretty hilariously wrong.

I am a good old rebel
That's exactly what I am
For your fair land of freedom
I do not give a damn

Three hundred thousand yankees
Lyin' dead on that southern dust:
We got three hundred thousand
A'fore they ever got next to us

They died of the southern fever
Of old southern steel and shot
And I wish we'd got three million
More than what we got

I can't take up my musket
Fight 'em now no more
But I ain't going to love 'em
That's for Got Damn sure

And I don't want no pardon
For what I've done or am
And I will not be reconstructed
And I do not give a damn

GARY DUNCAN does like a cool" LOUISIANA"  "SOUND EFFECT" (cannons) acoustic version on his first SHAPESHIFTER album. but i like this version better because of DINO"S cowboy voice!!
