Legend Of The Rebel Soldier

Charlie Moore

Key of G · Chords: I V

Verse 1

G
In a dreary Yankee prison
                      D7
Where a rebel soldier lay
By his side there stood a preacher
                         G
Ere his soul should pass away

Verse 2

And he faintly whispered Parson
                          D7
As he clutched him by the hand
Oh parson tell me quickly
                              G
Will my soul pass through the Southland

Verse 3

Will my soul pass through the Southland
                     D7
Through old Virginia grants
Will I see the hills of Georgia
                           G
And the green fields of Alabam

Verse 4

Will I see that little church house
                             D7
Where I pledged my heart and hand
Oh parson tell me quickly
                              G
Will my soul pass through the Southland

Verse 5

Was for loving dear old Dixie
                      D7
In this dreary cell I lie
Was for loving dear old Dixie
                         G
In this northern state I die

Verse 6

Will you see my little daughter
                       D7
Will you make her understand
Oh parson tell me quickly
                              G
Will my soul pass through the Southland
         D7            G
Then the Rebel Soldier Died
