Alternative lyrics

[Tim Twiss]

Anybody have some alternate lyrics for Minstrel songs as adapted to the Civil War....such as what 2nd South Carolina did to "Dandy Jim"?

[Al Smitley]

I've got quite a few:  Most (and plenty of others) can be found at:

....a great site for mid-19th C parodies and such.

-Sword of the Red, White, and Blue (Rosin the Beau)

-Southern Wagon (Wait for the Wagon)

-New Jim Crow Song, About the Darkies and the War (Jump Jim Crow)

-Berdan's Sharpshooters (Yankee Doodle)

-Richmond is a Hard Road to Travel (Jordan is a Hard Road to Travel)

-'Twas at the Siege of Vicksburg (Listen to the Mockingbird)

-Overtures from Richmond (Lilliburlero)

-Song on the Death of President Abraham Lincoln (Annie Laurie)

But here's a few verses from a particularly good one,

   "Traitor's Land"  (Dixie)

   In Dixie land, the land of traitors, Rebel heats and Union haters, Look away.....

   We'll hush these ranting, hot seceders, rout their troops and hang their leaders, Look away....

  

   [Chorus]

   We're off to fight in Dixie, Hurrah, Hurrah!

   In Dixie land we'll take our stand to fight and die for the Union

   Hurrah, Hurrah, We'll fight and die for the Union (2)

   Here in the north, the home of freemen, our stars and stripes are proudly streaming, look away....

   But way down south in the dearth of reason, they wave the stars and bars of treason, look away....
