Rebel Soldier Jamey Johnson

Oh Polly, oh Polly, it's for your sake alone
I’ve left my old father, my country, my home
I've left my old mother to weep and to mourn
I am a rebel soldier
And far from my home

The grape shot and musket and the cannons lumber lie
It's many a mangled body the blanket for the shroud
It’s many a mangled body left on the fields alone
I am a rebel soldier
And far from my home

[Harmonica solo]

Here's a good old cup of brandy and a glass of 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 moan
I am a rebel soldier
And far from my home

I'll build me a castle on some green mountain high
Where I can see Polly when she is passing by
Where 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
