  • The background tune is the music to the following song, "Rebel in the Woods", written by a anonymous Confederate Guerilla in North Missouri to his friend condemned to die in a St. Louis prison. The song was found from a St. Louis newspaper clipping dating back to around 1863. The phrase "my jacket so bleue" may appear that the writer was a Union soldier, but this is not the case since in Missouri, rebels frequently wore the clothes removed from their victims.

      @Southern Storm My G Grandfather fought for the Union. His dad was a Baptist preacher. My Grandmother was from Tennessee and together they gave birth to my father in Arkansas and later moved.to Missouri
      I was born in California.
      I also admire the freedom that came through the British struggle over the centuries.
      I especially admire the man who saved western civilization , Winston Churchill.
      I also think the assault of communists and thier sympathizers who want to rob US of our rights given to us by God must be resisted by using all we have to oppose and triumph over all enemies of freedom
      Amen and Amen and thanks to God for victory in the name of Jesus Christ The Lord

    The most poignant Civil War song I've heard. Lyrics and tune are masterfully composed to convey longing, sorrow and fear. Contrasting the scenes of springtime with the speaker's precarious survival -- so effective! My paternal grandmother (from Missouri) was the daughter of a Confederate soldier. In these uncertain times, this thought gives me great encouragement.

    In memory of my Paternal Great Great Grandfather, John W. McCall; John W. McCall enlisted as a private with Company H, 10th Georgia Infantry Regiment, Wilcox County Rifles, on 20 May, 1861. He was promoted to 4th Corporal on 15 June, 1861 and to First Lieutenant on 2 December, 1864. John W. McCall saw action in the following engagements: Seven Days Battle; Gettysburg; The Wilderness; Spotsylvania Court House; and the Shenandoah Valley Campaign. He died of Tuberculosis in 1869 at age 31as a result of the war. He left a grieving widow and infant son. Rebel blood runs deep in my veins; however, I am a proud American. G.M., BT3, USN; HSC, USCG, (Ret.)

    For any who want the chords to this, this is the best approximation I could come up with. More than open to any corrections if anyone has a better ear. Also, for those curious, it's a modified version of the tune "Home Dearie Home" by Ed Trickett, so you can use that as a reference if you want. I couldn't find the chords for the life of me, though.
    Verse:
    D A7
    The winter is gone and the spring has come once more.
    G D A7
    The rebels rejoice that the winter is no more,
    D G D A7
    For now it is spring and the leaves are growing green,
    D G A7 D
    And the rebels rejoice that they cannot be seen.
    Chorus:
    D A7 G A7
    Then home, soon home, home they will be;
    G D A7
    Home, dearest home, in this our country,
    D G D A7
    Where the rose is in bud and the blossom's on the tree,
    D G A7 D
    And the Lark is singing home to North Missouri.

      Sometimes a civiI war is necessary so that it separates wheat from the tares in a certain nation. One is so badly needed in my country, too many traitors per one square foot, too much immoraIity, too much injustice, so in order for my country to be cIean a civiI war would almost be a bIessing. I know how crazy it sounds, but it's true. Your brother is not always your brother, know what I mean?

    The winter is gone and the spring has come once more.
    The rebels rejoice that the winter is no more,
    For now it is spring and the leaves are growing green,
    And the rebels rejoice that they cannot be seen.
    Chorus:
    Then home, soon home, home they will be;
    Home, dearest home, in this our country,
    Where the rose is in bud and the blossom’s on the tree,
    And the Lark is singing home to North Missouri.
    We have taken up arms in defense of our farms,
    And if the Federals trouble us we’ll surely do them harm,
    For we have declared that our land shall be free;
    But if they stay away how quiet we will be.
    Chorus
    The rebels from their homes are compelled to go;
    And stay in the woods in the bushes thick and low,
    For if they go home and there attempt to stay
    The Federals will come and force them away.
    Chorus
    Away from their sweethearts they have to stay;
    And lay in the woods by night and by day,
    For if by the Federals they should captured be;
    They will be carried to the penitentiary.
    Chorus
    Now my song is almost ended, and since it is so,
    Back to the wars with all speed I must go.
    With my gun in my hand and my jacket all so blueu,
    Farewell, my dear friends, I must bid you adieu.
    Chorus
    When the war is over I will return to thee,
    And we will get married if we can agree,
    And when we are joined in wedlock’s happy band,
    Then we never more will take the parting hand.
    Chorus

      The winter is gone and the spring has come once more. The rebels rejoice that the winter is no more, For now it is spring and the leaves are growing green, And the rebels rejoice that they cannot be seen.
      Then home, soon home, home they will be; Home, dearest home, in this our country, Where the rose is in bud and the blossom’s on the tree, And the Lark is singing home to North Missouri.
      We have taken up arms in defense of our farms, And if the Federals trouble us we’ll surely do them harm, For we have declared that our land shall be free But if they stay away how quiet we will be.
      Then home, soon home, home we will be… The rebels from their homes are compelled to go And stay in the woods in the bushes thick and low, For if they go home and there attempt to stay The Federals will come and force them away.
      Then away from their homes, away they will be… Away from their sweethearts they have to stay And lay in the woods by night and by day, For if by the Federals they should captured be They will be carried to the penitentiary.
      Then away from their homes, away they will be… Now my song is almost ended, and since it is so, Back to the wars with all speed I must go. With my gun in my hand and my jacket all so blueu Farewell, my dear friends, I must bid you adieu. Then away from my home, away I will be…
      When the war is over I will return to thee, And we will get married if we can agree, And when we are joined in wedlock’s happy band, Then we never more will take the parting hand. And at home, soon home, home we will be…
