No one really knows who wrote this song, but it's safe to say that it's old enough to be a traditional folk song. this is the first time I have recorded myself with my new violin. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2971696/
The vocals and guitar are were recorded at the same time on the same mic. The violin was added later.
Please take no offense to the flag or the theme of this upload. I considered using the confederate national flag for the icon, however hardly anyone would have known what it was ( http://www.sonofthesouth.net/leefou.....ional-flag.jpg )
the lyrics are:
Oh, Polly! Oh, Polly! It's for your sake alone,
I left my dear old father, my country and my home,
I left my dear old mother to weep and to mourn -
I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!
It's grape-shot and muskets and the cannon lumber loud,
There's many a mangled body, with dew for it's shroud,
There's many a mangled body left on the field's alone -
I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!
You'll drink your fine brandy, and I will drink my wine,
You can drink to your true love, and I will drink to mine,
You can drink to your true love and I'll lament and 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 mourn -
I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!
I'll build me a castle on some green mountain high,
So, I can see Polly as she comes passing by,
So, I can see Polly and help her to mourn -
I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!
I am a Rebel Soldier and far from my home!

Well, I mainly wanted to avoid a knee jerk reaction that people sometimes get when they see the confederate battle flag. Its been adopted by some organizations off pretty ill repute. But i like this song because it dose feel pretty real. Any soldier indeed could have written it.
my speakers are turned down low cause of my roommate. plus my recent sleep deprivation... you get the idea..
at that session they were all either old men or their sons, or grandsons. i guess i fall into the last category. i played the banjo at for most of it, lots of fun. Indiana that one, haven't been to one there since then. i'm in Maryland... its a long drive.
