Key: Am

♫ Verse 1:
Am
O Polly O Polly,
Am                 G Am
It's for your sake alone,
Am
I've left my old father
Am             G  Am
My country and my home,
Am
I've left my old mother
Am          G  Am
To weep and to mourn
Am           D        Dm
I am a Rebel soldier
Dm              Am
And far from my home.

♫ Verse 2:
Am
It's grape shot and musket
Am                  G  Am
And the cannons lumber loud,
Am
There's many a mangled body
Am              G    Am
The blanket for their shroud,
Am
There's many a mangled body
Am                 G  Am
Left on the fields alone,
Am           D        Dm
I am a Rebel soldier
Dm              Am
And far from my home.

♫ Verse 3:
Am
I'll eat when I'm hungry
Am              G    Am
I'll drink when I am dry,
Am
If the Yankees dont kill me
Am              G Am
I'll live until I die,
Am
If the Yankees dont kill me
Am           G  Am
And cause me to mourn,
Am           D        Dm
I am a Rebel soldier
Dm              Am
And far from my home.

♫ Verse 4:
Am
Here's a good old cup of brandy
Am             G    Am
And a glass of nice wine,
Am
You can drink to your true love
Am               G  Am
And I will drink to mine,
Am
And you can drink to your true love
Am          G       Am
And I'll lament and mourn,
Am           D        Dm
I am a Rebel soldier
Dm              Am
And far from my home.

♫ Verse 5:
Am
I'll build me a castle on the mountain
Am                 G Am
On some green mountain high,
Am
Where I can see Polly
Am        G       Am
As she is passing by,
Am
Where I can see Polly
Am       G      Am
And help her to mourn,
Am           D        Dm
I am a Rebel soldier

And far from my home.
