I seen him at the fairgrounds
in a canvas tent
with his uniform and whiskers
a perfect southern gent

 he took his stand
 for dear role dixieland
 world's smallest confederate veteran

                       he'd started out a lowly private
                       but rose to general
                       he brandished his toy sword at us
                       and give a rebel yell

                                 he took his stand
                          for dear role dixieland
                world's smallest confederate veteran

   we all stood above him 
   but we were sore amazed
   that so small a form
   could hold a soul so brave

he preached against yankee gold
and devil government
& leapt a shetland pony
& galloped round the tent
     
     he took his stand
   for dear role dixieland
 world's smallest confederate veteran


he remembered the surrender
big tears filled his eyes
he said that dammit War is Hell
but 'twas biggest time in my life

     he took his stand . . .

some thought he was humbug
or a child in disguise
but when he sang Ole Johnny Reb
there was not a dry eye      

he took his stand . . . .
