Rebel Son - Rebel Soldier

I Am A Rebel Soldier Oh, Polly! Oh, Polly! It’s for your sake alone, I left my old father, my country and my home, I left my old mother to weep and to mourn - I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home! The grape-shot and muskets and the cannon lumber loud, It’s many a mangled body, a blanket for the shroud, It’s many a mangled body left on the field’s alone - I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home! There is a good old cup of brandy, and a glass of wine, You can drink to your true love, and I will drink to mine, You can drink to your true love and I’ll lament and mourn - I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home! I’ll build me a castle on some green mountain high, Where I can see Polly when she is passing by, Where, I can see Polly and help her to mourn - I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!
