Raise the Flag of Dixie

Come on, rebel
Grab your gun
Yankee Doodle wants to have some fun
Union blue
Sure looks fine
Runnin' away from a long gray line

Gonna march on down to Washington Town
And set me up a sill
Gonna beat my drum and drink me some
Settin' on Capitol Hill

They get beat
And we get cheered
And I get a hank of Abe Lincoln's spear

Raise the flag of Dixie
Higher than a tree
And let it wave from sea to shining sea
If it's good enough for Jackson
And it's good enough for Lee
Then hut, damn, Alabam'
It's good enough for me

I'm Union army, Union all the way
Union army till my dying day
I'm Union tied, Union tried and true
And beneath my Union britches
My Union butt is blue
Two, three, four
One, two! Three, four

Well, I laughed last night till I had pain
Johnny Rebel can write his name

Shine your saddle and shine your boot
Bag you a Yankee in a turkey shoot!

Gonna march and win a cotton gin
And a big vacation house

Gonna hang up there right on the tail of
Captain Sheridan's horse!

Goodbye, Sarah and Mary Lou
Send you my ribbons and medals, too

Goodbye, Clara and Betty Sue
Send you my ribbons
Send you my medals
My ribbons (my medals)
My ribbons (my medals)
My ribbons (medals)
Ribbons (medals)

Mountain boy, got news for you
You bit off more than you can chew

Good old Jim, you soon won't grin
When you start seein' that you can't win

Them Southern gents are up against
More than they suspect

Gonna give me joy to see them boys
Learn a little respect!

Oh, this old war just can't last
One whit longer than a weekend past

This old war just can't last
One whit longer than a weekend past

This old war, it just can't last
One whit longer than a weekend past
Can't last
Can't last
Can't
Last

I'm Union army (Raise the flag of Dixie)
I'm Union army
Union all the way (higher than a tree)
I'm Union (and let it wave)
I'm Union army (from sea to shining sea)
Until my dying day (if it's good enough for Jackson)
I'm Union tied (then it's good enough for me)
Union tried and true

And (hot damn)
Union (hot damn)
Union (Alabam)
My Union butt is blue (It's good enough for me)
