Lyrics:

Oh, Polly! Oh, Polly! It's For Your Sake Alone,
i Left My Dear Old Father, My Country And My Home,
i Left My Dear Old Mother To Weep And To Mourn -
i Am A Rebel Soldier And Far From My Home!

it's Grape-Shot And Muskets And The Cannon Lumber Loud,
there's Many A Mangled Body, A Blanket For Their Shroud,
there's Many A Mangled Body Left On The Fields Alone
i Am A Rebel Soldier And Far From My Home!

here's A Cup Of Nice 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 Eat When I'm Hungry, I'll Drink When I'm Dry,
if The Yankees Don't Kill Me, I'll Live Until I Die,
if The Yankees Don't Kill Me And Cause Me To Mourn -
i Am A Rebel Soldier And Far From My Home!

i'll Build Me A Castle On Some Green Mountain High,
so, I Can See Polly As She Comes Passing By,
so, I Can See Polly And Help Her To Mourn -
i Am A Rebel Soldier And Far From My Home!
i Am A Rebel Soldier And Far From My Home!
