Wait for the Wagon

 

Wait for the Wagon

Come all you sons of freedom,

and join our Southern band

We are gonna fight the Yankees,

and drive 'em 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 for the ride!

Our wagon is the very best,

the running gear is good

Stuffed 'round the sides with cotton,

and it's made of Southern wood

Carolina is the driver,

with Georgia by her side

Virginia holds the flag up

while we 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!

There's 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 'em slide!

Our cause is just and holy,

our men are brave and true

We'll whip the Lincoln cut-throats,

'tis all we have to do!

God bless our noble army,

in Him we will confide

So jump into the wagon

and we'll all take a ride!
