General Lee
AIR - "Oh, Cary me back to old Virginny!"

There is a man in Old Virginny,
His name is General Lee;
A scourge to every Yankee sinner,
Before his sword they flee.

He is a man about five feet ten,
A noble looking fellow --
He risks his life for his country's good,
He'll make the Yankees bellow.

Chorus - Oh take me back to old Virginny
My soldier for to see
To take him by his gallant hand,
The brave old General Lee

There's not a man in all creation
that stands so bright and high,
In all the peoples' estimation
to make all the Yankees fly,

As General LEE, the great and good
The gallant son of the South
Will feed the Yankees with powdered food,
And cram it down their mouth.

Chorus - Oh take me back to old Virginny
My soldier for to see
To take him by his gallant hand,
The brave old General Lee
He is a warrior to all bad men,
A foe to every vice,
He'll make the Yankees run away,
Like an army of old gray mice.
So here's long life to General Lee,
And to the Southern Braves,
Heaven crown their efforts with success,
They never will be slaves.

Chorus - Oh take me back to old Virginny
My soldier for to see
To take him by his gallant hand,
The brave old General Lee
