The Southern Wagon (Remastered 2020)

The Southern Wagon - Tennessee Ernie Ford

Come all ye sons of freedom and join our southern band

We are going to fight the enemy and drive them from our land

Justice is our motto and providence our guide

So jump on 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 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 all 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
