Austin Lounge Lizards - War Between The States
I am a southern man
I had a southern family
And I had some southern land
I wore it out with cotton
In the good old southern way
I had a southern accent
Which I still retain today
But then along came
The War Between the States
Ba ba ba ba
And we lost everything!
When Lincoln was elected
The drippings hit the fan
The cry for southern independence
Trickled through the land
I enlisted in the army
With Mr. Ed, my horse
My wife ran the plantation
With our happy slaves, of course
But thеn along came
The War Between thе States
Ba ba ba ba
And we lost everything!
Well, we beat them at Manassas
And we beat them at Bull Run
And we beat them boys at Chancellorsville
We were havin' lots of fun
We beat them at Parcheesi
And at Space Invaders too
We lost ol' Stonewall Jackson
But you're bound to lose a few
But then along came
The War Between the States
Ba ba ba ba
And we lost everything!
We invaded Pennsylvania
The turnpike, it was long
We all marched into Stuckey's
One hundred thousand strong
(hut-two-three-four!)
The pecan logs were delicious
They were a tasty treat
How could we know that later
We would taste a great defeat
But then along came
The War Between the States
Ba ba ba ba
And we lost everything!
Well the Yankees had our number
They called us on the phone
And they said
"Hey yous guys has lost the war
W'doncha g'on back home?"
At Appomattox, General Lee surrendered up his sword
The fact that things looked pretty bad could no longer be ignored
But then along came
The War Between the States
Ba ba ba ba
