[00:10.716] Oh, Polly! Oh, Polly! It's for your sake alone,
[00:28.310] I left my old father, my country and my home,
[00:43.068] I left my old mother to weep and to mourn -
[00:58.301] I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!
[01:19.662] It's grape-shot and muskets and the cannon lumber loud,
[01:22.229] I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry,
[01:38.107] If the Yankees don't kill me, I'll live until I die,
[01:51.124] If the Yankees don't kill me and cause me to mourn -
[02:07.063] I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!
[02:31.970] I'll build me a castle on the mountain on some green mountain high,
[02:45.636] Where I can see Polly as she is passing by,
[02:59.228] Where I can see Polly and help her to mourn -
[03:14.564] I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!
