  • 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.

      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!"

    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.

    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.

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.

    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

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.

    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
