Southern Boys: Caleb Lyrics

they brought parasols and picnic boxes

dressed like they's hunting foxes
but could nor more fight than fly

they thought at Bull Run they'd put us down

but that ain't quite what they found

now here's the reason why

we're just Southern boys, raising hell right now

we're just Southern boys, doing well right now

they got many more men than us

got the arms but not the guts

they ain't the kind to win

we whipped 'em bad at Ball's Bluff
at Wilson's Creek - treated 'em rough

pretty soon they'll give in

we're just Southern boys, raising hell right now

we're just Southern boys, doing well right now

sweet spirit of Dixie - just drives us along

like the Mississippi flows - the Southland rolls on and on

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)

we got horsemen like you've never seen
gunmen that shoot so mean

farm boys with fists of steel

we've got the finest generals ever known

Jackson stands like a wall of stone

we won't beg and kneel

we're just Southern boys, raising hell right now

we're just Southern boys, doing well right now

we're just Southern boys, raising hell right now

we're just Southern boys, doing well right now

we're just Southern boys, raising hell right now
