I hates ’em wuss and wuss.
I fit it all I could.
I’d like to kill some mo’.
And I don’t care a damn.
That’s Hoyt Axton on vocals if anyone is wondering.
These lyrics sound like something those Anarcho-tards who were rioting in Seattle all weekend would be chanting. They don’t care for any of these things either.
True, but that’s because they hate everything about America. The Confederates simply wanted to carve their own nation out of it, and keep slavery. The protagonist in this song is simply vengeful and bitter, but defiant.
I’m not a neo-Confederate; I just like the spirit of defiance in this song.
Great song. Love the 2nd South Carolina String Band.
Hey Will, I have a question entirely unrelated to Civil War music. I remember a blog post written by a fellow whom I believe was Eastern Orthodox who said something like “the age of evangelization is over.” I think I remember seeing it linked from your blog but can’t find it. Does that sound familiar to you? Sorry for the sparse details, but if you happen to remember it could you tell me where to find it? Thanks.
@ Patrick B.: Oh yeah! I have long enjoyed that song, but only recently discovered these guys, though I had heard their music without realizing it in Gods and Generals. Great band.
There are a few friends of this blog who are E.O.; perhaps it was one of them, perhaps they will remember and help you out.
@Will S no worries. I’ll probably find it eventually.
If you wanta have a good time, join the cavalry, join the cavalry, join the cavalry, if you wanta catch the devil if you wanta smell hell, join the cavalry!
