OH, I'M A GOOD OLD REBEL

- The melody of this song was borrowed from a pre-war minstrel tune, "Joe Bowers". The words are of a somewhat obscure origin; published in 1867, credit for the lyrics was given to one Major Innes Randolph, a Virginia Confederate and "cultivated Southerner of letters", who served under J.E.B. Stuart. A cultivated Southerner he may have been, but a more bitter, venomous statement of the emotions felt by many Confederate veterans following the surrender - and especially during Reconstruction years - would be hard to imagine. However, as humiliating as the Reconstruction was to most Southerners, the angry, hate-filled opinions expressed in the words of this song would almost certainly not have been shared by the majority of the military and political leadership of the Confederacy, nor by the vast majority of the rank and file. Overwhelmingly, most felt they had honorably acquitted themselves in a cause they believed in, and, having failed, returned peacefully to their homes and families, pledging themselves to honor and defend the very Constitution and Union they had fought so hard against. We have tried, in this presentation, to capture the emotion of that time. Few, then as now, would have embraced the sentiments expressed in this song. Ironically, the 1867 edition was dedicated to the radical Reconstructionist, the Honorable Thaddeus Stevens.
We perform “Good Old Rebel”, as a song, not a statement. We view it as a kind of historical ‘document’ in musical form, suitable for presentation to listeners in context at living history events - a Civil War reenactment, for example. Such events are rather like ‘performance art’. They are simulations, meant to convey to attendees the feeling and atmosphere of past conflicts, and are obviously not real. Reenactors are ‘playing a part’ as soldiers in a simulated battle. Our parts are as ‘camp musicians’ entertaining our listeners - in this video, our fellow reenactors. Innes Randolph’s lyrics are our ‘lines’ - not our sentiments or beliefs.
Unreconstructed, and damn proud of it. Both my paternal great grandfather's fought in the Confederacy, Private Joseph Irvin Hawkins, 11th TN Cavalry, 2nd Lt William Masey, 35th TN Infantry. Neither "swallowed the dog", and neither will I.
My brother and I share a ggf who rode with Forrest - 7th Tenn. Cavalry. God bless 'em all !
Unfortunately I had family on both sides of this war. Thank God we have been able to breed out or through death clear my family reputation. No more blue coats left in all living members of family now. I believe some of the folks in yankee county are starting to see the truth. God bless Mr.Lee and Dixie Land. God’s blessings on all the Sons of the Confederacy who died defending the old south.
Mine too!
Good man.
Move to Canada if you don’t like these United States.
Why don’t you Commies ever just move on out.
Y'all can even make a disclaimer sound entertaining
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
You try to get in front of a crowd and perform some of the best songs ever made. THEN you can talk 😂
Play on gentlemen, play on.
This song has new meaning today. Being a Patriot is being a Rebal. It is loving what America stood for, not what it has become.
Amen. Love to you from England
Oh, you are right! I'm dumb. Rebel music all we have, ; the system is fucked overall and we're brainwashed. "Right " and " Left " mean nothing. The big corporations rule and the constitution is being treated like a joke by EVERY politician.
Big picture, you've got more in common with your poor neighbors down the road than with any rich person.
Divide and conquer by focusing on emotional politics and forget about equity, decency, and god forbid actual freedom. This is basically 1984 no matter what angle you're seeing it from.

I will delete this comment if you reply cause I'm trying to make us look better. Spelling words wrong makes our cause look bad.
America and the south confederacy hated each other. Did you listen to the song?

“ you may sing a song like that and get criticized, but you ain’t breakin’ the law.” Fuck yes.

I'm from Poland but God willing, one day i will settle down in the South and live a peaceful life.
Howdy from the South! Great job sending Jan II over to defend Vienna back in the day. When I visited Vienna I asked where the fallen soldiers who defended the city from destruction were buried, the Catholic priest turned white as a ghost and refused to discuss it any further. Years later I was shocked to read that when the Poles sent Vienna a statue of Jan II to commemorate the victory, the city officials returned it! While I can't speak or understand any Polish, I love the song "Hej, sokoły!"
Southern born and raised, from my perspective poland seems like a great place and one of the few european countries that hasn't gone insane. Take a tour, see the sights, discover the history but don't be too quick to leave your homeland permanently.
@@slackjaw4270 Howdy friend! Yes, we here commemorate Jan III as not only one of our greatest kings, but one of the most skilled military commanders in our history. And as a great defender of Christendom, of course. Austrians don't really like to admit that someone had to save them from total annihilation, and as far as im aware, there is only one statue of him in Vienna, and even few years before, they tried to take it down because it "offended turkish minority in Vienna" 😂 So the woke disease is present almost everywhere, but not so much in my country, at least not yet.
@@yerbudspud It's my dream to see Dixie one day, especially Texas and Alabama. I love it's culture and people. And like Poland, Deep South seems like the last place in America resisting all this madness. Never give up your 2nd Amendment. Your rights. The land of your ancestors. And your heritage.
Welcome Brother.
These men had balls to sing this song. As a New Yorker all I can say is good on them! Saying what you want without fear is getting harder to do, even if it's an old song-based hallmark of dark days. Well done gents!
“Rich man’s war, poor man’s fight.”
Ain't they all ?
"Alte Männer erklären den Krieg - junge müssen sterben." - "Old men declare the war - young men have to die"
Ditto! Ain't they all! And the policy of divide and conquer is alive and well, more effective than ever thanks to the media. I have plenty of " personal politics " opinions, but the bottom line is that all us poor have more in common than with ANY RICH PEOPLE. Eyes on the prize, which would be economic justice or at least something closer! No politicians have our backs. They are one and all in the pockets of the fat cats.
Gents. Great song. I haven’t heard it before and have been intrigued with the comments below. My opinion, you can’t erase or rewrite history, only learn from it. Great song!

Brad Pitt as Jesse James sings it in the 2007 film "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford". Worth a look, it is a good film and will help you understand the context.

Greetings from Flanders, Belgium. Nowadays we all have to rebel and fight for our freedom
Anytime I listen to this, I think of how two of my relatives fought and died on the Confederate line, 56th Georgia during the battle of Vicksburg.

Thank you for keeping history alive especially in a time like this. Freedom is being thrown out the door left right and center and honestly as a Texan it is nice that history, even while some may try and destroy it instead of preserve and remember it no matter its context, is being kept alive in some way. As a historian I tip my hat to you and as a proud Texan I thank you.
We love Texas ! Thanks for the kind word !
Speaking as a "Yankee," I can tell you that I love this song. It has real passion. Unlike the modern drivel that we are subjected to today that is completely devoid of any real feelings at all. This song has real human emotion. I've got to respect. and even love that.
THANK you. Seriously. Thank you !
good comment I feel the same. I have this song on my phone and I have never even been to the south.
Great love from Tennessee, sir. We respect you my dear Yankee. Your a Yankee we tolerate.

No politics. It's a great tune from the people who fought a long bloody conflict. It is a part of hour nation's history.
Greetings from Argentina, beautiful song. Here we had a similar phenomenon with the Argentine Confederation (1831 - 1852) led by Juan Manuel de Rosas against Unitarians (similar to Unionists). Many of us are still nostalgic for the Confederation of Rosas. God bless you.

Im for the heritage and the content. The wrong side won.
The POLITICIANS won and everybody else lost.
Factually incorrect
🤙🏻😎
America's been on the wrong side of every war since then.
The goblin merchants won.
To quote Captain Malcolm Reynolds, "Just cause it was the losing side don't make it the wrong side."
they owned people as property
@MrPandrius-fy1sc and the government of the United States owns us all now! So that's what you got from them taking away sovereignty and expanding federal purview! Things like the NSA and Homeland security all tools to trample our liberties under the guise of safety and security.
"yes they owned slaves but the government we got afterwards was bad too so we should totally love the slavers, they're TOTALLY the only people who've ever opposed the union, and we could NEVER start our own movement": you're an unoriginal hack latching onto bullshit you do not understand.@@damianleblanc1666
@@MrPrius-fy1scSo did the North. Anything else?
No we did not.
Every state North of the Mason Dixon line abolished slavery DECADES before the war.
We also helped Blacks get to Canada then hid Blacks from Lees army during the Gettysburg Campaign.
That is until we sent them running back to Virginia like whipped Southern Coonhounds.

Does anyone remember this song from the movie " The Long Riders"? Great movie. Great song.
I remember it Brother! I am glad i ant the only one ! Damm good movie and Song .
That tragic war never should have happened.Slavery wasn't the only issue.
were it not for the linconites, the war never would have happened.
Slavery wasn't the only issue it was just the main issue
The guy who wrote this so g in 1867 was pissed off.
When Democrats don’t get their way they get violent.
Keep that rebel spirit alive :)
Oh boy. We are in for a treat. Looking forward to a fiery performance, pards!
Long Live the SOUTH!❤ 🇼🇸
southern zeal and fire is still alive and well
I'm a black and a southern woman. The comments had me wondering how "bad" this was gonna be 😂 It's honestly very catchy and an interesting piece of history. Very fun. USA 🇺🇲
HEY !!! YOURE NOT ALLOWED HERE !!! the sheer audacity....
Jk😉 have a good day
Southern women are always welcome, whatever their color. I think you'll find most people wanting a free South is because of what is happening to the rest of the nation.
This song truly does paint a beautifully gray picture of your average soldier during the war. Most nowadays see the civil war as black and white. Slavery vs Freedom. When, in fact, there were far more issues. Many don't look at the struggles the south faced. While the north was establishing economics based on massive textile, railroad, and industry companies, the south struggled to keep up. Most of what the south had was farming and ranching. Not to say slavery wasn't a big part in the war, as seen in the Bleeding Kansas incident, but there were far more issues related to the causation of the war. A friend of mine has a letter written by his great-great-grandfather which, in summary, wrote that he didn't care about slaves or the preservation of the constitution. He fought because rising taxation put a toll on his wages. He sent his earnings back to his family to put food on the table, and fought against the unjust taxation running rampant across southern states. These were all still people. People fighting for what was best for them. But society puts a big sticker on their backs that says, "bad". Because the victor decides the truth of history.
Well said, friend !
You at least looked at actual history, that's more like it.
Oh man, thanks again for knowing your history. Those who don't know it are doomed to repeat it, yes? And then we don't learn, ad infinitum. Aside from the best music EVER, old-time is our fucking HISTORY, god bless ❤️
God Bless Dixie from Western Kentucky 🤘❤
Hod bless you sir

You NEVER EVER apologize to the left.
He wasn't apologizing, he was clarifying that he isn't a neo-confederate.
You people ARE the Left.
Confederate huurrtage belongs exclusively to the Democrats.
Confederate soldiers were nothing but enforcers for rich Democrats.
100% a yankee but quite enjoyed the song. Made me think about the complexity of war. Even today we tend to paint history with a broad brush. Did the confederacy practice slavery of course, were all confederates slave holders (no thats far from the case). Was the union purely a noble force of good who just desperately wanted to free the slaves... (no some union soldiers were passionate about the cause) but when it came to all the politicians even abraham lincoln himself once said that his goal wasnt really related to slavery at all, it just happened to go together well with his ambitions for the unions.
"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union."
Needless to say this songs interesting to hear as it expresses the confederate sides frustrations and didain with the union, and the victors typically neglect to acknowledge such pieces. But truthfully in most wars this happens in one way or another. Just gets lost in the Ether due to the victors telling their side of the story. Glad this piece is preserved.
Thanks very much for your well-considered, nuanced, and obviously above-average informed opinion. As you note, the Emancipation Proclamation freed only the slaves of the States in Rebellion and not of the Union states - 'Door # 3' of Lincoln's choices. Major Randolph's deep bitterness stems more from the post-war Reconstruction and occupation of the defeated south. Had Lincoln lived, who knows if many of today's persistent issues might well have been avoided or greatly lessened.
The confederate states of America did not fight for slavery but the right for each state to vote laws into effect. If we were given that right I guarantee 80% of slave states would've been free states, especially considering the average Confederate didn't even own slaves and most who did only owned one to help with chores. The big plantations we know were owned by the rich, white, black Spanish etc
Nobody was pure in that fight. And we're all suffering from some of the consequences to this day but defending slavery..really??
I'm a good ol rebel ya that's just what I am
I ain't got time to bullshit with no damn Uncle Sam.
Not political correct. Means it the truth alot times
Except for the fact that Confederate huurrtage is the original template for politically correct narratives.
That’s why Democrats are so good at it today. They had a century of practice.
@@patrickburgess1107 Interesting. Democrat PC behavior certainly wouldn't have you saying the south should have won. You'd get metaphorically crusified by the left for saying the racist things the south did.
Greetings from China! I ain’t commie and hope ya southern guys don’t hate me by my skin. Just tell ya I love this song and this band.
Any Chinese person who isn't a commie is a brother to me
I hope your people all find true freedom.
We don't hate anyone, just those that force us to do things we don't want to do, then we fight.
God Bless the South and God Bless DIXIE!!
I'm from Germany, it's midnight, I have no idea how I got here, all I can say is this is a great interpretation and I kind of wish I could've been there to see this live. Atmosphere seems great honestly. I probably won't be able to get this tune out of my head for a week or so.
Sure, the lyrics are out there, especially from today's standpoint, but this was written almost 200 years ago after losing a years-long war. History often isn't pretty and the parts we perceive as ugly should be remembered just as much as what we perceive as good, anything less is lacking in integrity and authenticity. Thank you guys for keeping history alive.
Amen to the Southern boys and Northern boys who all fight for freedom 🇺🇸
Amen 🙏

@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand Yes, that's what I did, in the lockdown I watched North and South, but at school we were going to learn about the Civil War but they said it's too complicated even when my dad was at school they said it's too complicated and political, I don't know if the American Civil War is as relevant in school in Britain, though.

God Bless Y'all from the heart of Dixie.
Im as Yankee as they come in my ancestry but i can't help but feel very sad when i think of the tragedy of the South fighting the good fight but losing the war. If fighting ability and spirit counted for right they ought to have won. It's just traumatizing to go through that for nothing.
And politically speaking i have trouble seeing how they were in the wrong. If they were wrong, then the guys who rebelled againt England were wrong as well, seems to me.
Slavery. Literally slavery.
They literally fought to preserve slavery…
@@audaxhistoricus7467 The south losing is as much of a tragedy as the nazis losing lol
@@dootless3819do you really believe that hundreds of thousands of men fought and died just so a few rich people could own slaves? Hmm..
@@MikeSparkman Yes.
Family fought in the Orphan Brigade, they didn't want to fight but when they came down through the mountains of SE Kentucky they came to my families holler, and they took all food stores they had put up to survive the winter, killed the hogs, the milk cow and even took the bee hives, left my family for dead. So the men picked up the guns and fought them on out of the mountains and at every chance to ambush them and then joined up, I had an Uncle die a POW at Camp Chase in Columbus Ohio, I visit him every year. We never forgot the sacrifice made by them and the wrong the government did to us. We fought in the Coal Wars after they killed Sheriff Hatfield, we will never trust this government it has never been good to us in Appalachia
This is courage. Glad to see the history kept intact despite the politically charged environment we find ourselves in. Keep the spirit alive and play on!
I honestly love this song so much. Our heritage is a important part of American History. We shall not be forgotten about!
I thought this was a poem. I was a permanent substitute in a high school and I used to go around and read this poem and a few others in a book of Confederate poetry to the kids in different classes. That was the 1980's. They probably wouldn't let me do the same thing now.
its a poem made into a song i think
No 'probably' about it.

Lyrics
Oh, I'm a good old rebel
Now thats just what I am
And for this yankee nation
I do no give a damn
I'm glad I fought against her
I only wish we'd won
I ain't asked any pardon
For anything I've done
I hates the Yankee nation
And eveything they do
I hates the declaration
Of independence too
I hates the glorious union
'Tis dripping with our blood
I hates the striped banner
And fought it all I could
I rode with Robert E. Lee
For three years there about
Got wounded in four places
And I starved at Point Lookout
I caught the rheumatism
Campin' in the snow
But I killed a chance of Yankees
And I'd like to kill some more
Three hundred thousand Yankees
Is stiff in southern dust
We got three hundred thousand
Before they conquered us
They died of southern fever
And southern steel and shot
I wish they was three million
Instead of what we got
I can't take up my musket
And fight 'em down no more
But I ain't a-goin' to love them
Now that is certain sure
And I don't want no pardon
For what I was and am
I won't be reconstructed
And I do not give a damn
Oh, I'm a good old rebel
Now that's just what I am
And for this Yankee nation
I do no give a damn
I'm glad I fought against her
I only wish we'd won
I ain't asked any pardon
For anything I've done
I ain't asked any pardon
For anything I've done...

It's ridiculous that you have to put out a disclaimer now. Our society is so soft and I fear that this country will not last much longer.
There are too many sheltered people who don't understand the realities of our world. They think that, since the environment they grew up in was safe and secure, the whole world is/needs to be. They do not understand that there are genuinely bad people out here who will take advantage of the most miniscule amount of kindness and make you pay tenfold. Then, they decide to move into politics to ensure everybody is brought up in their ways, no matter the insustainability of such half-baked practices. They have no idea how to implement their plans in a practical way, so they choose to blame the rest of us for running their "perfect" system that would never work in the first place. And then we end up where we are now. We need to just stop pandering to these people and live our lives as we used to. Like people.
“Doors everywhere “ …I couldn’t have put it better. Salute!

I'm satisfied the sentiments of this song reflected that of many a Southern. The only mistake
the band director made was to say it was written in 1858. I think maybe he meant 1868 as
the war between the states was from 1861-65 and much of the song is about the war and
what followed. Other than that., Hurrah for Dixie. JE
