Oh, Polly! Oh, Polly! It's for your sake alone, |
| [00:15.095] |
I left my dear old father, my country and my home, |
| [00:20.080] |
I left my dear old mother to weep and to mourn - |
| [00:25.068] |
I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home! |
| [00:34.190] |
It's grape-shot and muskets and the cannon lumber loud, |
| [00:38.985] |
There's many a mangled body, The blanket for their shroud, |
| [00:44.117] |
There's many a mangled body left on the field's alone - |
| [00:49.192] |
I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home! |
| [00:58.091] |
Here's a good old cup of brandy, and a glass of nice wine, |
| [01:03.092] |
You can drink to your true love, and I will drink to mine, |
| [01:08.119] |
You can drink to your true love and I'll lament and mourn - |
| [01:13.239] |
I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home! |
| [01:22.095] |
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry, |
| [01:27.034] |
If the Yankees don't kill me, I'll live until I die, |
| [01:32.113] |
If the Yankees don't kill me and cause me to mourn - |
| [01:37.288] |
I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home! |
| [01:52.431] |
I'll build me a castle on some green mountain high, |
| [01:57.365] |
So, I can see Polly as she comes passing by, |
| [02:02.489] |
So, I can see Polly and help her to mourn - |
| [02:07.463] |
I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home! |
| [02:15.354] |
I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home! |
