How Were You Raised With Love For The Southern Cause?

"when i was young , i would slip around and listen
to the old people talk . i learned who was the woods colts
in the family, and how the bloodlines ran . grandpaw and
grandmaw would tell me the old tales . grandmaw would
scream the rebel yell , that her father taught her .

now historian where did you get your knowledge ?
a bastardized yankee library .

my school teacher how her grandfather walked home
from virginia , living on black snakes and redbirds .

i asked grandpaw our bloodline , he told me indian
but not all . for some reason they never told the complete
story . me and some relatives have pieced together
what we are . mixed blood , inbred mountaineer."
