[00:09.924] 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!
