Текст песни The Rebel Soldier (Tennessee Ernie Ford) с переводом

Oh Polly, oh Polly, it’s for your sake alone

I’ve left my old father, my country and my home

I’ve left my old mother, to weep and to mourn

I am a Rebel soldier, and far from my home

I’ll eat when I’m hungry, I’ll drink when I’m dry

If the Yankees don’t kill me, I’ll live until I die

If the Yankees don’t kill me, and cause me to moan

I am a Rebel soldier, and far from my home

I’ll build me a castle on the mountain, on some green mountain high

Where I can see Polly as she is passing by

Where I can see Polly, and help her to mourn

I am a Rebel soldier, and far from my home
