Come, all ye sons of freedom,
and join our Southern band,
We are going to fight the Yankees
and drive them from our land.
Justice is our motto
and providence our guide,
So jump into the wagon,
and we'll all take a ride.
Wait for the wagon!
The dissolution wagon!
The South is the wagon,
and we'll all take a ride.
Secession is our watchword,
our rights we all demand;
To defend our homes and firesides,
we pledge our hearts and hands;
Jeff Davis is our president,
with Stephens by his side;
Brave Beauregard, our General,
will join us in the ride.
Wait for the wagon!
The dissolution wagon!
The South is the wagon,
and we'll all take a ride.
Our wagon is the very best,
the running gear is good;
Stuffed 'round the sides with cotton,
and made of Southern wood.
Carolina is the driver,
with Georgia by her side,
Virginia holds the flag up,
and we'll all take a ride.
Wait for the wagon!
The dissolution wagon!
The South is the wagon,
and we'll all take a ride.
Old Lincoln and his Congressmen
with Seward by his side,
Put old Scott in the wagon
just for to take a ride.
McDowell was the driver,
to cross Bull Run he tried,
But there he left the wagon
for Beauregard to ride.
Wait for the wagon!
The dissolution wagon!
The South is the wagon,
and we'll all take a ride.
The Tennessee boys are in the field,
eager for the fray;
They can whip the Yankee boys
three to one, they say;
And when they get in conflict
with Davis by their side,
They'll pitch into the Yankee boys
and then you'll see them slide.
Wait for the wagon!
The dissolution wagon!
The South is the wagon,
and we'll all take a ride.
Our cause is just and holy,
our men are brave and true;
We'll whip the Lincoln cutthroats
is all we have to do.
God bless our noble army;
in Him we all confide;
So jump into the wagon
and we'll all take a ride.
Wait for the wagon!
The dissolution wagon!
The South is the wagon,
and we'll alllll take a riiiiiiiiide.
