jubilation t. cornpone

Ray Charles

When we fought the Yankees and annihilation was near,
Who was there to lead the charge, that took us safe to the rear?

Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone.
Old Toot your own horn pone ,
Jubilation T. Cornpone, a man who knew no fear.

When we almost had em but the issue still was in doubt,
Who suggested the retreat that turned it into a rout?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone.
Old Tattered and Torn Pone ,
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he kept us hidin out.
With our ammunition gone and faced with utter defeat,
Who was it that burned the crops and left us with nothin to eat?
Why it wuz Jubilation T. Cornpone.
Old September Morn-pone ,
Jubilation T. Cornpone, the pants blown off his seat.
