[00:04.52] Come, all ye sons of freedom,
[00:06.25] and join our Southern band,
[00:08.23] We are going to fight the Yankees
[00:10.16] and drive them from our land.
[00:12.53] Justice is our motto
[00:14.37] and providence our guide,
[00:16.42] So jump into the wagon,
[00:18.02] and we'll all take a ride.
[00:20.57] Wait for the wagon!
[00:22.38] The dissolution wagon!
[00:24.47] The South is the wagon,
[00:26.27] and we'll all take a ride.
[00:32.79] Secession is our watchword,
[00:34.89] our rights we all demand;
[00:36.82] To defend our homes and firesides,
[00:38.92] we pledge our hearts and hands;
[00:40.98] Jeff Davis is our president,
[00:43.01] with Stephens by his side;
[00:45.09] Brave Beauregard, our General,
[00:47.10] will join us in the ride.
[00:49.37] Wait for the wagon!
[00:51.11] The dissolution wagon!
[00:53.25] The South is the wagon,
[00:55.13] and we'll all take a ride.
[01:01.90] Our wagon is the very best,
[01:03.67] the running gear is good;
[01:05.66] Stuffed 'round the sides with cotton,
[01:07.64] and made of Southern wood.
[01:09.76] Carolina is the driver,
[01:11.69] with Georgia by her side,
[01:13.75] Virginia holds the flag up,
[01:15.56] and we'll all take a ride.
[01:18.03] Wait for the wagon!
[01:19.90] The dissolution wagon!
[01:21.97] The South is the wagon,
[01:23.81] and we'll all take a ride.
[01:30.27] Old Lincoln and his Congressmen
[01:32.31] with Seward by his side,
[01:34.46] Put old Scott in the wagon
[01:36.42] just for to take a ride.
[01:38.54] McDowell was the driver,
[01:40.55] to cross Bull Run he tried,
[01:42.63] But there he left the wagon
[01:44.46] for Beauregard to ride.
[01:47.16] Wait for the wagon!
[01:48.92] The dissolution wagon!
[01:51.01] The South is the wagon,
[01:52.89] and we'll all take a ride.
[01:59.56] The Tennessee boys are in the field,
[02:01.53] eager for the fray;
[02:03.35] They can whip the Yankee boys
[02:05.68] three to one, they say;
[02:07.56] And when they get in conflict
[02:09.54] with Davis by their side,
[02:11.49] They'll pitch into the Yankee boys
[02:13.58] and then you'll see them slide.
[02:15.85] Wait for the wagon!
[02:17.63] The dissolution wagon!
[02:19.78] The South is the wagon,
[02:21.69] and we'll all take a ride.
[02:28.20] Our cause is just and holy,
[02:30.06] our men are brave and true;
[02:32.17] We'll whip the Lincoln cutthroats
[02:34.26] is all we have to do.
[02:36.42] God bless our noble army;
[02:38.36] in Him we all confide;
[02:40.48] So jump into the wagon
[02:42.40] and we'll all take a ride.
[02:44.93] Wait for the wagon!
[02:46.62] The dissolution wagon!
[02:48.76] The South is the wagon,
[02:50.66] and we'll alllll take a riiiiiiiiide.
