Down south of the Mason-Dixon, friends
Rebels are rockin' and rollin' in
Confederate money they are ready to spend
South's gonna rise again, hallelujah
South's gonna rise again, well ah-ah
South's gonna rise again

Mister Abraham Lincoln, it's been so long
Ulysess Grant came in so strong
We've had time now to heal our bones
South's gonna rise again, hallelujah
South's gonna rise again, ah-ah
South's gonna rise again

Now Sherman done marched into our towns
Burned our homes and stileries down
But then the flames have a long left row
South's gonna rise again, hallelujah
South's gonna rise again, you better know it
South7s gonna rise again

Mister Robert E. Lee and his rebel men
Surrendered but they said this ain't the end
Save your confederate money my friends
South's gonna rise again, hallelujah
South's gonna rise again, last time
South's gonna rise again
