Summary

J. S. Prevatt Yankee Stampede (1862?)

Air—“Root Hog or Die.”
By J. S. Prevatt, Company E, 6th Ga. Regiment.
Now listen to a story that I’m going to relate,
It happened near by Richmond in the Old Dominion State;
’Twas a stampede of the Yankees down the Chickahomi-ny,
Big Yank, little Yank, root Yank or die.
Chorus.
McClellan, Seward and Greeley with all their Yankee cunning,
Will never live to wipe us out, we’re not the stock for running,
And I’ll tell you the reason why,
Dixie will be Dixie, root hog or die.
