Chorus:

E

You fought all the way Johnny Rebel Johnny Rebel

You fought all the way Johnny Reb.

E A E

I saw you were marchin with Robert E. Lee

You held your head a high tryin to win the victory.

A E

You fought for your folks, but you didn’t die in vain

E A E

Even though you lost, they speak highly of your name.

Chorus: Cause you…

E A E

I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside

E B

Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side

A E

I saw the young boys as they began to fall

E A E

You had tears in your eyes, cause you couldn’t help at all.

Chorus: But you...

E A E

I saw General Lee raise a saber in his hand

E B

Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand

A E

You marched into battle with the Grey and the Red

E A E

When the cannon smoke cleared took days to count the dead.

Chorus: Cause you …

E A E

When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall

E B

The folks thought he’d call, a great victory ball.

A E

But he asked the band to play the song DIXIE

E A E

For you Johnny Rebel and all that you believe.

Chorus: Cause you…Yeah you…

Chorus:

Chorus: Yeah you…
