    Also this one.
    I tried to find the Cisco Houston or Weavers version which is much better, but couldn't.

    Johnny Reb is from the south land where the cotton grows so tall
    And at the age of seventeen he heard his country call
    He kissed his poor mother, he waved his dad goodbye
    He checked his trusty musket and he kept the powder dry
    Johnny Reb! Johnny Reb!
    Why did ya have to go
    Johnny Reb! Johnny Reb!
    I'll always miss ya so.

    They sent him off to Georgia to join the boys in grey
    He fought his only battle on a cold and rainy day
    He cocked his gun and wet his site and then he looked around
    And every Yank that showed himself he quickly brought 'em down!

    When the fighting stopped they found him he was barely alive
    But the Union boys that he took down they counted fourty five
    They found him lying in a ditch as he breathed his last goodbyes
    "I heart for all our South born boys, and keep our flag up high!!"

    Johnny Reb! Johnny Reb!!
    Why did ya have to go!
    Johnny Reb! Johnny Reb!!
    I'll always miss ya so.
