The Southern Wagon

Come, all ye sons of freedom, and join our Southern band
We are going to fight the Yankees and drive them from our land
Justice is our motto and providence our guide
So jump into the wagon, and we'll all take a ride

So,wait for the wagon! The dissolution wagon!
The South is the wagon, and we'll all take a ride

Secession is our watchword, our rights we all demand
To defend our homes and firesides, we pledge our hearts and hands
Jeff Davis is our president, with Stephens by his side
Brave Beauregard, our General, will join us in the ride

Wait for the wagon! The dissolution wagon!
The South is the wagon and we'll all take a ride

Our wagon is the very best, the running gear is good
Stuffed 'round the sides with cotton, and it's made of Southern wood
Carolina is the driver, with Georgia by her side, Virginia holds the flag up and we'll all take a ride

Wait for the wagon! The dissolution wagon!
The South is the wagon and we'll all take a ride

Old Lincoln and his Congressmen with Seward by his side
Put old Scott in the wagon just for to take a ride
McDowell was the driver, to cross Bull Run he tried
But there he left the wagon for Beauregard to ride

Wait for the wagon! The dissolution wagon!
The South is the wagon and we'll all take a ride

The Tennessee boys are in the field eager for the fray
They can whip the Yankee boys three to one, they say
And when they get in conflict with Davis by their side
They'll pitch into the Yankee boys and then you'll see them slide

Wait for the wagon,the dissolution wagon
The South is the wagon, and we'll all take a ride

Our cause is just and holy, our men are brave and true
We'll whip the Lincoln cutthroats is all we have to do
God bless our noble army; in Him we will confide
So jump into the wagon and we'll all take a ride

Wait for the wagon! The dissolution wagon!
The South is the wagon, and we'll all take a ride
