Unknown Hinson A Smart-ass Yankee (in A Rebel Court)
(Verse)
Her yankee boyfriend shot off his mouth
Called me a hillbilly from the south
Let’s take it outside I said to him
On to the parking lot of diamond gems
A crowd of beer drinkers followed us
They formed a circle in the rocks and dust
I made a point to get him the first neck
I popped his jaw bone and heard it click
I heard the crowd of drunken rebels cheer
They toasted me with their hands up there
(Chorus)
To read the liberation can be short
For a smart-ass yankee in a rebel court
(Verse)
I threw a barbecue in my backyard
Me and my friends have eaten and drinking hard
My smart-ass yankee neighbor called the cops
Said we was disturbing the peace and he’d wanted that
stopped
The police came and said well that’s alright
Me and my friends were well within our rights
My yankee neighbor cursed as they told him
We could raise hell up til 10 PM
Me and my rebel friends did cheer
We gave the officers a beer
(Chorus)
To read the liberation can be short
For a smart-ass yankee in a rebel court
