8. Songs of the Rebels.
Chivalrous C. S. A.!
by B.
air--“Vive la Compagnie!” I'll sing you a song of the South's sunny clime,
Chivalrous C. S. A.!
Which went to housekeeping once on a time;
Bully for C. S. A.!
Like heroes and princes they lived for awhile,
Chivalrous C. S. A.!
And routed the Hessians in most gallant style;
Bully for C. S. A.!
Chorus — Chivalrous, chivalrous people are they!
Chivalrous, chivalrous people are they!
In C. S. A.! In C. S. A.!
Ay, in chivalrous C. S. A.!
[8]
They have a bold leader — Jeff. Davis his name--
Chivalrous C. S. A.!
Good generals and soldiers, all anxious for fame;
Bully for C. S. A.!
At Manassas they met the North in its pride,
Chivalrous C. S. A.!
But they easily put McDowell aside;
Bully for C. S. A.!
Chorus — Chivalrous, chivalrous people are they! &c.
Ministers to England and France, it appears,
Have gone from the C. S. A.!
Who've given the North many fleas in its ears;
Bully for C. S. A.!
Reminders are being to Washington sent,
By the chivalrous C. S. A.!
That'll force Uncle Abe full soon to repent;
Bully for C. S. A.!
Chorus — Chivalrous, chivalrous people are they! &c.
Oh, they have the finest of musical cars,
Chivalrous C. S. A.!
Yankee Doodle's too vulgar for them, it appears;
Bully for C. S. A.!
The North may sing it and whistle it still,
Miserable U. S. A.!
Three cheers for the South!--now, boys, with a will!
And groans for the U. S. A.!
Chorus — Chivalrous, chivalrous people are they! &c.
