Her Yankee boyfriend shot off his mouth
Called me a hillbilly from the South
"Let's take it outside" I said to him
Onto the parking lot of Diamond Jim's
A crowd of beer drinkers followed us
They formed a circle in the rocks and dust
I made a point to get in the first lick
I popped his jaw bone and heard it click
I heard the crowd of drunken rebels cheer
They toasted me with their cans of beer
Jury deliberation can be short
For a smart *** Yankee in a rebel court
I throwed a barbeque in my back yard
Me and my friends were eatin' and drinkin' hard
My smart *** Yankee neighbor called the cops
Said we was disturbin' the peace and he wanted it stopped
The police came and said "Well it's alright"
Me and my friends were well within our rights
My Yankee neighbor cussed as they told him
We could raise hell until 10pm
Me and my rebel friends did cheer
We gave the officers a beer
Jury deliberation can be short
For a smart *** Yankee in a rebel court
