O Polly, O Polly, It’s for your sake alone,
I’ve left my old father, My country and my home.
I’ve left my old mother, To weep and to mourn,
I am a Rebel soldier, And far from my home.
It’s grape shot and musket, And the cannons lumber loud,
There’s many a mangled body, The blanket for their shroud
There's many a mangled body, Left on e fields alone,
I am a Rebel soldier, And far from my home.
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry,
If the Yankees they don't kill me, I'll live until I die,
If the Yankees they don't kill me and cause me to mourn
I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home
Here's a good ol’ cup of brandy and a glass of nice wine
You can drink to your true love, and I will drink to mine,
You can drink to your true love and I'll lament and mourn
I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home
I’ll build me a castle on the mountain, On some green mountain high,
Where I can see Polly, As she is passing by
Where I can see Polly, And help her to mourn,
I am a Rebel soldier, And far from my home.
