The Southern Wagon |
| Come, all ye sons of freedom, and join our Southern band, |
| We are going to fight the enemy and drive them from our land. |
| Justice is our motto and providence our guide, |
| So jump on 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. |
| 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 family, 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. |
| Wait for the wagon! |
| The dissolution wagon! |
| The South is the wagon, and we’ll all take a ride. |
| Our wagon is big enough, 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. |
| Wait for the wagon! |
| The dissolution wagon! |
| The South is the wagon, and we’ll all take a ride. |
| There are Tennessee and Texas also in the ring; |
| They wouldn’t have a government where cotton wasn’t king. |
| Alabama and Florida have long ago replied; |
| Mississippi and Louisiana are anxious for the ride. |
| Wait for the wagon! |
| The dissolution wagon! |
| The South is 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. |
| North Carolina and Arkansas are slow, |
| They must hurry or we’ll leave e’m and then where would they go? |
| Kentucky and Maryland each won’t make up their mind, |
| So I reckon after all we’ll have to take e’m up behind. |
| Wait for the wagon! |
| The dissolution wagon! |
| The South is 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. |
| Tennessee Missouri are 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. |
| Wait for the wagon! |
| The dissolution wagon! |
| The South is the wagon, and we’ll all take a ride. |
