The Southern Wagon (Remastered 2020) Lyrics
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
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 alllll take a riiiiiiiiide
