Johnny Reb Thats Me

A D A Just a lonely soldier lad, A D A Johnny Reb, that’s me. A D Far away from all that’s home, D A Oh dear God, hear my plea. A D A Hiding in the valley there, A D A Yankee soldiers lay in wait. A D When the battle starts at dawn, A I know I’ll meet my fate. A E Oh, Johnny Reb, E Oh, Johnny Reb, D A A soldier man can’t cry. E Don’t let me be a coward, Lord; D A I’m not afraid to die. A D A My life’s sixteen years have been, A D A Sweet as a honeycomb. A D When the fighting’s over, Lord, D A Take Johnny Reb back home. A E Oh, Johnny Reb, E Oh, Johnny Reb, D A A soldier man can’t cry. E Don’t let me be a coward, Lord; D A I’m not afraid to die. A D When the fighting’s over, Lord, D A Take Johnny Reb back home.
