War Of The Rebellion	A
	-
	-
No I won't thar now so And it ain't nothin' no	B
And thar's nary to tell that you folks yer don't know	B
And it's Belle tell us do and it's Belle is it true	C
And Wot's this yer yarn of the Major and you	C
Till I'm sick of it all so I am but I s'pose	D
Thet is nothin' to you Well then listen yer goes	D
	-
It was after the fight and around us all night	E
Thar was poppin' and shootin' a powerful sight	E
And the niggers had fled and Aunt Chlo was abed	F
And Pinky and Milly were hid in the shed	F
And I ran out at daybreak and nothin' was nigh	G
But the growlin' of cannon low down in the sky	G
	-
And I saw not a thing as I ran to the spring	H
But a splintered fence rail and a broken down swing	H
And a bird said Kerchee as it sat on a tree	I
As if it was lonesome and glad to see me	I
And I filled up my pail and was risin' to go	B
When up comes the Major a canterin' slow	B
	-
When he saw me he drew in his reins and then threw	C
On the gate post his bridle and what does he do	C
But come down where I sat and he lifted his hat	J
And he says well thar ain't any need to tell THAT	J
'Twas some foolishness sure but it 'mounted to this	K
Thet he asked for a drink and he wanted a kiss	K
	-
Then I said I was mad For the water my lad	L
You're too big and must stoop for a kiss it's as bad	L
You ain't near big enough And I turned in a huff	M
When that Major he laid his white hand on my cuff	M
And he says You're a trump Take my pistol don't fear	N
But shoot the next man that insults you my dear	N
	-
Then he stooped to the pool very quiet and cool	O
Leavin' me with that pistol stuck there like a fool	O
When thar flashed on my sight a quick glimmer of light	E
From the top of the little stone fence on the right	E
And I knew 'twas a rifle and back of it all	P
Rose the face of that bushwhacker Cherokee Hall	P
	-
Then I felt in my dread that the moment the head	F
Of the Major was lifted the Major was dead	F
And I stood still and white but Lord gals in spite	E
Of my care that derned pistol went off in my fright	E
Went off true as gospil and strangest of all	P
It actooally injured that Cherokee Hall	P
	-
Thet's all now go 'long Yes some folks thinks it's wrong	Q
And thar's some wants to know to what side I belong	Q
But I says Served him right and I go all my might	E
In love or in war for a fair stand up fight	E
And as for the Major sho gals don't you know	B
Thet Lord thar's his step in the garden below	B
