So I'll join Price's Army and fight till I die,

I don't mind the Federals they just make me mad,

When Molly won't love me it hurts me so bad.

My mammy's against me she says it's a shame, 
                         G            D 
To go with the rebels if fightings my game, 
                               G          D 
My brothers ole Sherman and my daddys ole Grants, 
                                   G           D

They say it's all over Price laid down the law,

So I'll go back home and have hell with my Pa, 
                                  G           D 
They may take my Country and they may take my gun,

But I'll still be a rebel and a true Southern son.
