THANKS A LOT, HISTORY BOY !!! We appreciate the exposure and the credits. Good luck with your subscribers !
Of course 2nd South Carolina String Band! Thank you! I love your music, and have every album. It means so much to me that you decided to watch and comment.
@@HistoryBoy Don't mention it. We are happy you chose to include us ! 4 outta 10 ain't bad at all !!
I will soon be posting some music videos with solely your songs (if that is OK with you!) May I ask who I am speaking with?
@@HistoryBoy Yes, that would be OK (with credits, of course - it's ALL good). I am Joe Ewers, banjo and business manager.
@@HistoryBoy thank you my friend
My grandma used to tell me that her grandpa, a Confederate veteran of the 10th Mississippi Infantry, loved to sing for her and her sisters, and that his favorite song was "I'm A Good Old Rebel".
That is incredible! Always such an amazing thing to be hearing these kind of stories.
@@QuandaleDingle-wt2yk Why are you bringing up racism? There was no mention of racism prior to your comment.

My sisters and I used to stand behind our mom while she played her electric piano at our house, when I was a kid in western NY, sang songs like “I Wanna Be a Cowboy Sweetheart”, “Oh, Susannah” and “Dixie” among other songs. I like to sing.
I'm from England born and bred but I have 2 great grandfathers who were from the South.
One white
The other was Mixed race
Their family was in the south
And both sides were in the confederacy so a part of me already feels Southern.
You may not like but it DID HAPPEN. I had a great grandfather that fought on the South's side. Thanks for bringing some history to all of us, God knows they don't teach it in school.
The influence of Irish folk music is all pervasive in traditional American music
Indeed it is Pat O!
And mostly Ulster Scotts!😊
@@ddouglas3860 got by Ancestry back and I’m 50/50 Irish and Scottish
This was the common music of the entire British Isles, not just Irish.
Other west European music is scarcely different.
@@Shumake303 Number nine is the tune from the "bonnets of bonnie Dundee" an old jacobite song from scotland.
One of my great grandpas and his brother joined the 15th Mississippi during the siege of Corinth. They ended up running away and after the war my great grand uncle became a Mormon and moved to Texas and eventually Utah. Can’t even imagine what he saw during the war but I found a picture he without a doubt had severe shell shock.
As an ex-pat Brit living in Australia, I regularly play these songs. They tell of history that is “offensive” to some these days. My dad had an old album titled “The Blue and The Grey”. I don’t remember him ever playing it but it was my introduction many years ago now.
I am 57 years old and never heard those songs enjoyed them just history way things are going now they want to erase them crazy thanks for sharing
As an Englishman, my favorite CSA song is 'I'm a good old Rebel' , make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up ..
It is indeed a fantastic yet bitter song.
@@HistoryBoy .. got cut off their by UT...best line is , ' i will not be reconstructed ' . we are what we are, and the worlds a better place for it
as a confederate from Mississippi i love the songs of the south
Thank you for this. Many memories are tied to this music. Some good, some bad. Proud to be a member of the 69th NC. We have never and will never surrender.
I remember my mom singing " Oh Susanna " as a child ......didn't know it was a Confederate song until now! I Thanks!
You are very welcome Hans! How interesting, and happy to bring back that memory!
BornAyankeeButARebelAtHeart
I thought it was a kiddygarden song.😄😄😄😎🌴🌴😎HaHA,ha YO😄😄🤣🤣
60 YRS AGO AT A CATHOLIC MILITARY SCHOOL WE 7TH GRADE BOYS WERE TAUGHT ALL OF THESE SONGS, THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES!
Jim Quinn, you are so very welcome friend! That sounds SOO AWESOME! I have to teach my friends. Haha
You are bleßed that you were taught this touching part of history
Amen.
Excellent! Bloody Excellent!
Get there first and bring the most Men!
Thanks so much! I’m glad that you enjoyed the video!
US and Souths boys you are the best .We love you. Always save Europe.
Can't find good music like this no more. The world has gone to shit. But it's up to us Southerners to keep this music playing in our radios. Keep doing what your doing man
Oh come on. The fact that this has been recorded means that people have been playing it fairly recently. Really solid old time music is all around. If you can't find it, it's because you haven't been looking.
Simple! Go to the Mall at Fyi.
Now more then ever do these songs need to be heard. In the world we live in we need to cling to the (KJV) Bible and the Southern Cross and all of Dixie needs to stand up once more and fight for Freedom. Thank you for sharing these powerful song. Thank ya kindly Sir from an ole Mt. Feller down here in Dixie Thank you Sir.
Where is Dixie( Atlanta, ) Ga ?
No pal Dixie is all of the south all of the original Confederate States from VA. to TX. It is not just one place it all of it.
Racists and slave owners wrapped themselves to flags and duped the poor around them. Long live the free state of Jones that rebelled against the Confederate oppression.
I listen to all these daily, truly the best music of any war.
Hurrah to that brother.

Dude you kill the civil war stuff. I love it. I never thought id find someone who's as interested in civil war as much as me lol.
Thanks so much Brandon Tube! I never thought that I would start a successful Historical TH-cam channel, and find such great people, but here we are! On that note, I never thought I would find, and join a re-enactment group either!
@@HistoryBoy really? My cousin is a colonel with North Carolina regiment. I actually have my 1st reenactment next month at Bentonville.
I do Brandon,know alot about it.Society will never understand or accept the fact that the civil war wasn't only about slavery.The North wanted the Southern land is 1 fact,another-Look what the Yankees did to all the Indian tribes.For their land.Their sacrifice was,and is to this day,fair greater then any black alive.Ever see a black being forced to live on a reservation?????????????????NO-Me nether.
Am in civil war in north Georgia am buff of civil war history can’t be replace or rerace 2021
Brandon Lilly Brandon, the correct English is..as much as I.....
I was expecting to see "Goober Peas" and "Bright Sunny South" on this list. But it did have my other favorites Southern Soldier and Riding a Raid. Good job!
Thank you J. Kiker! Those are also great songs, with “Goober Peas” being my favorite! Sadly though, I could not have possibly fit all of the great songs on this list, there are just too many!
Love it! My cousins fought in the cival war. Thank you for keeping history alive
You are very welcome Sharon Pittman! Many people, just like you have family connections to the war, including myself!
How could your cousins fight in that war it was 160 years ago from when you posted this how are you alive?
@@Damond_WarriorMaybe heute uses a time machine. 😅
he, not heute
Great list. Have heard most of these before. Love Civil War music, no matter if it's Union or Confederate.
Thanks Brian, I’m glad that you enjoyed the video! I completely agree with you!
Objectively the Confederacy had better music.
@@zachb8012 agreed, like wth man, youd think thr side with preferable ethics would have better music
Or indeed Irish. Wearing of the grey = Rising of the moon.
#4 the wearing of the grey is actually remade from the Irish song " The wearing of the green".
Which is remade from the “Dawning of the day,” which is remade - I just found out - from a 17th century song made by a blind harpsichordist! How about that...
And the song when johnny comes marching home is remake from the irish song johnny i hardly knew ye and plus i think the song Danny boy is a remake from a British song
Stonewall Jackson's way is the best!
It is a great tune, but I could not fit all of them onto the list.

@@natesmith3166The South shall rise again!
The song "Hard Times Come Again" was acutally written by a man from the north named Stephen foster who wrote other songs about the war like "Was my brother in the battle" or "That's what's the matter." He also wrote famous songs like "Beautiful Dreamer and "I dream of jeanie with the light brown hair." Just thought it was a interesting fact it was written by a northerner but used by both sides instead of just the north.
I am proud to say my ancestors fought for the 12th North Carolina and was wounded on May 2nd 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville he returned to service January 64 and was present at Appomattox God bless my ancestors and all that served CSA I will never forget y'all
My husband's great-grandfather enlisted at age 18 in Brooks County GA. He served all 4 years without ever getting sick or wounded- which was a miracle. I guess his youth helped him.
I had an uncle in the 24th Georgia Infantry who was killed at Chancellorsville.

South-land, too. One fine day Dixie will be liberated from Yankee imperialism.
Im so glad you know riding a raid! Most people dont and thats my fav rebel song besides Dixieland
I do indeed know “Riding a Raid!” It is featured on one of Bobby Horton’s albums, and it had also made it onto Ernie Ford’s album of Confederate music.Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
@@HistoryBoy , Riding a raid song/tune is taken from the Scots tune and song "Bonnie Dundee", written in 1825 by Sir Walter Scott. Try and listen and you'll see what I mean.

@@natesmith3166 The Yankees were the traitors to the Constitution!
Friends in the North, South, East, and West: We have no moral issue baggage, now. It is time for we, the freedom-loving patriots of our generation, to keep the flame of true liberty burning bright. We may embrace the best of these songs from North and South as our own in the current fight to save the Republic and to restore the Constitution. We are tasked with holding up the torch of freedom for hopeful people -- our friends around the world. May the Lord help us. We must not fail.
Hurrah to that!
Being of Southern Ancestry I enjoyed immensely.
Fantastic! Glad to know that.
Wow! I guess there is some hope for the younger generation after all. No one in our schools care about history nor do they teach it. The kids only learn about show choir, no history, no math, no usable skills. Keep up your good work. thanks for sharing
Another triumph, HB: a fine choice of songs and rarely-seen images. "Lorena" is an interesting inclusion: the words and music were written by Northerners but it was well-liked by both sides during the war. Incidentally, I think the best song sung during the war is "The Battle Cry of Freedom", popular (with different lyrics, as was often the case) with both Union and Confederate soldiers. I'm looking forward to your 10 greatest Northern songs video!
Thanks so much for watching Michael, and thank you for being an active subscriber, who leaves amazing comments! After my last list video, everyone requested “Lorena” so I obliged. It is a very good tune, and I can see why it was such a famous, well known song in its day.
@@HistoryBoy Hey H.B., can you give a link to the 'I'm a good ol' rebel' clip you have? I have not ever heard that version of it before
Oh Susanna didn't become popular until the Old West period, mostly among gold miners, To Arms In Dixie is actually Everybody's Dixie by Albert Pike. Lorena was a crossover hit and was popular among both Union and Confederate soldiers during the US Civil War
Oh Susanna was a very popular song during the American Civil War as well. Everything else you have said is very correct, glad to have an educated viewer on the channel.
The Picture of Lorena is great .
I’m glad you think so Damien. I tried very hard to find that one, there are not as many high-quality paintings of the Civil War era as you may think.
Great video, I really like the southern culture!
Greetings from Colombia 🤝
Greetings to you my friend! May I say, your English is excellent and we are happy you appreciate American music.
Greeting from the⚡⚡⚡Lightning bolt YO! ✡️✡️✡️✝️✝️✝️
Thanks for saving the songs, my family faught for the South in the civil war
Thank you for your service and your story
My absolute pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Most people nowadays have no idea that southerners that fought in the war fought for the land that they called home. We get drilled into our head that everything was black and white, that the war was all about freeing slaves. It was much more. 98% of southerners owned no slaves. There was a great battle fought with and by the European money powers, playing both sides (that has not changed either). It was about power, control over the land, resources, and the seas...trade.
Here is an interesting thing that many in the north and west usually miss. Take for example the city of Natchez, Mississippi and counties especially up and down the Mississippi River. Natchez was and is filled with antebellum homes of cotton traders who dealt in plantations, and cotton trade. Do you realize that most of these folks came to Natchez from back east; New York, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, etc. They built these luxurious estates as their second home. Do not down the south to the point of making us ashamed or blaming all the ills of bigotry, racism on the south. It is more grey than purely black and white.
when I was a younger man, I spent a good many years doing WBTS reenacting. *my hearing is shot now.. * lol.. in that course of time I did light artillery, dismounted cav. then after about 10yrs or so I got he change to portray Gen. John H. Morgan.. had a blast with it. Thanks for the songs, really enjoyed!!
Very happy that another fellow Civil War reenactor is viewing the channel. You are very welcome, and thank you for watching!
The Union may have won the war but the confederates won the music competition
I’ve heard that one before.
The south will rise again, if we take proper action towards southern independence
"Away down south in the land of traitors!"
@@TheGladBagz Yankees were the traitors to the Constitution.
I would pick the same 10! Those songs are so catchy, and obviously tell part of the amazing story of the civil war! Great picks! Great video! And exactly 10 minutes for that ad revenue (just kidding I know you’re not monetized)
Anyway, have a great night! Can’t wait for the next vid!
Thanks again CBerg Music! As you know, I do not run this channel for money, I just want to educate more people, and share this historical music with more people. The next video will be ‘The All-Time Greatest Songs of the Union Army’!
Well done! There were so many good ones and you certainly must have spent some time researching. I will happily subscribe to your channel, not least wise because you are still releasing new history programming and are very current in your efforts.
Thank you so much Joey! I have just gained 5,000 subscribers and you were very close to the mark, so thank you for helping out. My next video will be the 10 All-time best Songs of the Union Army!
Thank you for this. I only stumbled upon it today. I was a little surprised that "Blue Canoe" wasn't on your list, but you had a lot to chose from.
You are very welcome! And indeed, you understand. There were hundreds of viable contenders!
Thanks for this. We have been trying to video document as many Civil War sites and monuments as we can, as fast as we can.
You are very welcome! I will take a look at your channel.
@@HistoryBoy Thanks! Maybe we could do something together sometime.
Keep hoping that the "WOKE" leave history alone.... thank you for sharing .....
Damn this channel sure has grown since it was an infant to know. You should be proud of yourself.
Thank you friend! I very much appreciate that.
Thank you I really enjoyed this. I down loaded it to keep for the future!!!!
Wonderful! So happy that you liked it.
Your selection was appreciated since, I never heard these songs before - there were men who fought with purpose!
So nice to hear this kind of songs I would like to have lived in that era.
Happy that you think so, same here!
I've heard that song "Old Abner's Shoes" before, only it was called "General Patterson" (after a Union general by that name), and the chorus went like this:
"So, lay ten dollars down
And count them one by one,
If you'll just show me the man
That whipped General Patterson."
I believe "O Susanna" was written long before the Civil War, and was intended to be a "going west" tune rather than a war song.
Very interesting Michael Palmieri! Inever knew about that other version of “Old Abner’s shoes. Now I have to go see if I can find it!
@@HistoryBoy
Well, good luck to you and happy hunting.
Some of these songs ate Scottish Songs with different words.Number 9 tiring a raid is Bonnie Dundee.Number 4 Wearing of the grey is an old Jacobite tune.
Yes indeed, many of the songs of the Civil War are inspired by old Irish tunes, as there were Irish brigades on both sides of the war.
The songs are based on old Scottish songs NOT Irish. Completely different countries altogether. Like calling the American civil war the Canadian civil war.
Incidentally, in my home town of Edinburgh, we have a monument the Scottish - American soldiers monument dedicated to the Scots who fought in the Civil War. Also, the Confederate battle flag the Stars and Bars is based on the Scottish national flag. The St. Andrews Cross.
Very interesting Raymond!
@@rayrichards5375 The wearing of the grey is sang to to tune of The wearing of the Green. Not scottish but Irish. A song about the 1978 irish rebellion.
Aww yah!,My type of music in the old great south :)
Just as an aside, you might already know that Michigan has a collection of Civil War Flags in Lansing,Michigan. I recently visited the Fort Worth, Texas Civil War museum. A fantastic exhibited display of artifacts like General Grant's coat. A lot of Army posts have museums too. Have you ever seen the horse that survived Custer's last stand in Kansas? A taxidermist saved Comanche and is displayed at the University of Kansas. Thanks for your efforts. From: My gg grandfathers', 23rd Michigan Infantry and Baxter's Tennessee Artillery at Chickamuga.
I will have to go check all of that out! In fact, I have never heard about the museum you mentioned! Thanks for mentioning it.
My friend Custer's last stand occured in Montana.Interesting story you have.
history boy great civil war songs enjoying them thanks 👍🏻
Thank you for watching and commenting! I’m happy that you enjoy the music.
Thank you! Great video. Keep’um coming.
Of course, so glad that you enjoyed it! I will start making the next one tomorrow, it will be the ‘10 All-Time Greatest Songs of the Union Army!’
i wanna become a civil war re-enactor but i wish i didn’t have to wait two years
It’s so great that you want to be a re-enact or EGW Gaming! You may not have to wait two years depending on what group you join. You might be accepted into the group early as a drummer! It never hurts to ask.
History Boy i’d prefer being a bugle boy myself, i asked the guy (3rd Missouri Confederate Infantry) if i could volunteer as a bugle boy
Your mama should take away your gun put you over her knee and spank the 10 commandments into you.😆😆😆😎🌴😂😄🦃🦃Turkey power.You human gouls stay away from me.
Ey lad your voice has really gotten deeper in recent times
Very true Cool Bob. I am happy about it because now I have a better narrating voice lol.
Yer Irish ain’t ye lad, I can tell by the way yer talkin
Makes me happy hearing these again... Been weaning off due to me overlistening
Especially our Bonnie Blue
I’m glad that they make you happy. The Union songs really hit home for me, but I’m from the north.

I'm a good old rebel as a song has its origins in the mind in one of General Robert E Lee's staff from the Army of Northern Virginia
Truly? That is quite fascinating.
0:44 really interesting that Riding a raid has the same melody as scottish folk song "Bonnie Dundee."
A large majority of Civil War songs trace their origins back to Ireland and Scotland!
@@HistoryBoy that's really interesting!
@@HistoryBoy thats because the sons of Scotland and Ireland became the sons of Dixie.

I'd make secession traitors roar right away!
Come away! Right away! Come away! Right away, come away!
We'll put the traitors all to route,
I'll bet my boots we'll whip 'em out,
Right away! Come away! Right away, come away!
We'll all go down to Dixie, away! Away!
Each Dixie boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam
Away! Away! We'll all go down to Dixie!
Away! Away!We'll all go down to Dixie!
(Continue singing)
O may our Stars and Stripes still wave forever roar the
Free and brave! Right away! Come away! Right away, come away!
And let our motto forever be for Union and for
Liberty, right away! Come away! Right away, come away!
We'll all go down to Dixie, away! Away!
Each Dixie boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam
Away, away, !
We'll all go down to Dixie! Away, away, we'll all go down

Extremely true.

Stay free !
Of course, and thank you for watching and commenting!
I'm so proud of my people who can before me and my grandma name is Mississippi damper God bless Dixie Jerry Mullins Jr
"Cheer boys, cheer" is based on the English tune of the same name - written by Henry Russell ( who also wrote the music for A Life on the Ocean Wave, quick march of the Royal Marines).
Personally, I like Southern Soldier.
That is fascinating! Thank you so much for giving me this information. I will take it down in my notes! I have been planning a video for a long time on Civil War songs who took inspiration from or their own tune from Irish or English songs. Don’t know if it will succeed as a video but it will be very interesting. Also I just realized “a life on the ocean wave” was turned into a song called “a life on the Vicksburg bluff!” Thanks again! P.S southern soldier is a good one.
i’m starting to collect gear, i joined a yankee engineer regiment, 1st missouri volunteer engineers, and i have my first event on the fourth of july
That’s so awesome EGW Gaming! I hope that you enjoy the hobby! It is really worthwhile.
History Boy thanks man, sadly my regiment doesn’t go to gettysburg
I love this. Thank you
You are very welcome sir! Happy that you enjoyed it
Thanks for posting
You are very welcome!
Southern Soldier & The Rose of Alabamy on the 1st. place for me. & The 2nd South Carolina String Band must play 'em. 👏👏👏
Haha, definitely! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
nice channel btw just subscribed 👍🔥🇺🇸
Thank you very much for your support! I appreciate it.
This is the second time I've watched this list and I love it. I have a CD Civil War songs that were recorded from the original record I love our history I'm joining the sons of the Confederate Veterans and I can't wait to get my certificate and get sworn in.
If you wanna be a racist just commit fully and wear a bed sheet with a pointy hat bro
@@Ben00000 I'm not a racist I have cousins that are half black.
@@Jay123hollis Hey man, you should read some of the declarations of secession and see what the Confederates were all about. Having black family doesn't mean you can't possibly be racist--tons of people are racist against family.
Nice music can’t wait to hear the unions
I love this Civil War music and have a few cd's. I am an Englishman
So happy to hear that my friend! Wonderful to have even more comrades across the ocean.
I tend to side with the Southern boys 😇
Haha, I understand - but I must respectfully disagree
@@HistoryBoy We Brits are still crying about the film ' Gone With The Wind', I do declare Yankee🤭
The refrain in the 2nd song is taken from an old Scottish song Bonnie Dundee.
It is indeed, good ear! A fellow musical historian I see! 😄
@@HistoryBoy A lifelong love of old traditional music.
Cool old songs, cool old art work too.
Glad that you enjoy them! The artwork is not all that old actually, most of it has been done in more recent years, as Civil War History was very popular at one point. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I have the Fort Sanders picture as a blanket...
How awesome! Which is the picture you are referring to?
Hold on
3:01 and until the end of that song.
Thank you for this. The defeat of the South was the defeat of Europe in the New World. I am convinced that had the South won, the world would be a hugely happier place today than it is. The Irish element in thesesongs is very clear
You are fully right
I share your viewpoint
From France 👍🇲🇫
Nevermind the suffering of millions of slaves
@@erinmayo5170 the statute of slave was schoking but basically the implementation of capitalism was a new breed of slavery similar to those in Europe and UK
@@erinmayo5170 Black slaves defintiely suffered less than most serfs white serfs down the ages. They were much more expensive than wage slaves and serfs. There were not millions of them and no I dont think a great deal about them. Not my race, not my people.
Great video
Thanks Kyle, glad that you enjoyed it.
One other thing, the song Dixie was actually written in the north, or actually by a man who lived in southern Illinois. However, Southern Illinois fought for the south. At Gettysburg the song Dixie changed sides. It was first the battle song of an Illinois regiment. During that battle it changed south and went to the Confederacy. At the same time the Battle Hymn of the Republic was written by a southerner. Both songs changed sides and the Battle of Gettysburg.
Very interesting, I will have to look into that further!
sehr gut :-)
