United States -- History -- Civil War, 1861-1865 -- Songs and music -- Confederate States
I'm 'nation tired of being hired, 218
In the land of the orange groves, sunshine and flowers, 203
I remember the hour when sadly we parted, 291
"Is there any news of the war?" she said, 86
It vos in Ni Orleans City, 10
It was on a New Year's morn so soon, 180
I've seen some handsome uniforms deck'd off with buttons bright, 285
I wish I was in de land o' cotton, 7
I wish I was in de land ob cotton, 153
Just listen awhile, and give ear to my song, 196
King Abraham is very sick, 27
Kneel, ye Southrons, kneel and swear, 29
Knitting for the soldiers, 52
Lady, I go to fight for thee, 150
Land of our birth, thee, thee I sing, 210
Land of the South! the fairest land, 115
Let me whisper in your ear, sir, 301
Like the roar of the wintry surges on a wild tempestuous strand, 163
Little do rich people know, 340
Lo! the Southland queen emerging, 353
Lo! when Mississippi rolls, 214
Maiden, pray for thy lover now, 284
March, march on, brave "Palmetto" boys, 90
'Mid her ruins proudly stands, 124
Missouri is the pride of the Nation, 60
Missouri! Missouri! bright land of the West, 308
Mother! is the battle over? thousands have been killed, they say, 236
My heart in its sadness turns fondly to thee, 339
My heart is in Mississippi, 211
My love reposes on a rosewood frame, 42
Now let the thrilling anthem rise, 247
Now rouse ye, gallant comrades all, 26
O band in the pinewood cease!, 255
"Och, its nate to be captain or colonel", 250
Of all the mighty nations in the East or in the West, 103
Off with gray suits, boys!, 369
Oh, dear its shameful, I declare, 230
Oh! Dixie, the land of King Cotton, 68
Oh, don't you remember old Stonewall, my boys, 338
Oh! Freedom is a blessed thing, 65
Oh, gone is the soul from his wondrous dark eye, 300
Oh! here I am in the land of cotton, 245
Oh! here's to South Carolina! drink it down, 279
Oh! Johnny, dear, and did you hear the news that's lately spread, 356
Oh! mother of States and of men, 331
Oh no! no! he'll not need them again, 309
Oh! say can you see through the gloom and the storms, 6
Oh! the tocsin of war still resounds o'er the land, 88
Oh! yes, I am a Southern girl, 81
O, Johnny Bull, my Jo, John! I wonder what you mean, 109
O, I'm a good old rebel, 360
O, I'm thinking of the soldier as the evening shadows fall, 182
Old Eve she did the apple eat, 258
On a bright May morn in 'Sixty-three, 345
"Only a soldier!" I heard them say, 333
On Shiloh's dark and bloody ground the dead and wounded lay, 336
O, tell me not that earth is fair, that spring is in its bloom, 226
O, the South is the queen of all nations, 93
Our cannons' mouths are dumb. No more our volleyed muskets peal, 366
Our country, our country, oh, where may we find, 152
Our flag is unfurl'd and our arms flash bright, 73
Out of the focal and foremost fire, 329
Over the river there are fierce stern meetings, 249
Over vale and over mountain, 170
Pillow his head on his flashing sword, 311
