LYRICS FOR 2000 MANIACS [Verse 1] There's a story you should know From a hundred years ago And a hundred years we've waited now to tell Now, the Yankees come along And they'll listen to this song And they'll quake in fear to hear this rebel yell (And they'll quake in fear to hear this rebel yell) [Chorus] (Yee-haw Oh, the South's gonna rise again Yee-haw Oh, the South's gonna rise again) [Verse 2] Robert E. Lee Broke his musket on his knee And a thousand pieces shattered on the ground But he looked up then And he gathered up his men And from his lips there came an awful sound (And from his lips there came an awful sound) [Chorus] (Yee-haw Oh, the South's gonna rise again Yee-haw Oh, the South's gonna rise again) [Verse 3] Stonewall took a gun And he made the Yankees run But he took a fatal bullet in the chest As he fell down dead Old Stonewall said "I'm a-givin' you a dyin' man's request" ("I'm a-givin' you a dyin' man's request") [Chorus] (Hee-haw Oh, the South's gonna rise again Hee-haw Oh, the South's gonna rise again) [Verse 4] Jeb Stuart spurred his horse And the Yankees ran of course But there wasn't any powder for his gun So he said to his boys "Let's make a lot of noise And we'll charge again and make them Yankees run" ("And we'll charge again and make them Yankees run") [Chorus] (Hee-haw Oh, the South's gonna rise again Hee-haw Oh, the South's gonna rise again) [Verse 5] Robert E. Lee Broke his musket on his knee And a thousand pieces shattered on the ground But he looked up then And he gathered up his men And from his lips there came an awful sound (And from his lips there came an awful sound) [Chorus] (Yee-haw Oh, the South's gonna rise again Yee-haw Oh, the South's gonna rise again)
