[Verse 1] Come all ye sons of Eireann, and join our Southern band Were gonna fight the enemy and drive them from our land! Justice is our motto, and Providence our guide So jump on the wagon, and well all take a ride! [Chorus] Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon! The South is our wagon, and well all take a ride! Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon! Texas is our wagon and well all take a ride! [Verse 2] Secession is our watchword, our rights we will demand And to defend our families, we give our hearts and hands! Jeff Davis is our prsident, and Stephens by his sid Brave Cunningham and Cleburne will join us in the ride! [Chorus] Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon! The South is our wagon, and well all take a ride! Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon! The South is our wagon and well all take a ride! [Verse 3] Our wagon, it is big enough, the running gear is good Its stuffed around with cotton and its made from Southern wood! Carolina is the driver, with Georgia by her side Virginia will raise the flag, well all take a ride! [Chorus] Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon! The South is our wagon, and well all take a ride! Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon! The South is our wagon and well all take a ride! [Verse 4] Theres Tennessee and Texas are also in the ring They wouldnt have a government where cotton wasnt king! Alabama, now, and Florida have long ago replied Mississippi and Louisiana are anxious for the ride! [Chorus] Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon! The South is our wagon, and well all take a ride! Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon! The South is our wagon and well all take a ride! [Verse 5] North Carolina and Arkansas are slow They must hurry, or well leave them, and then where will they go? Kentucky, now, and Maryland, they wont make up their minds So I reckon, after all, well have to take them from behind! [Chorus] Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon! The South is our wagon, and well all take a ride! Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon! The South is our wagon and well all take a ride! [Verse 6] Tennessee, Missouri, are eager for the fray They can whip the Yankee army, boys, three to one, they say! And when they get in conflict, with Davis by their side Theyll pitch into the Yankee boys, and then youll see them slide! [Chorus] Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon! The South is our wagon, and well all take a ride! Wait for the wagon, the dissolution wagon! The South is our wagon and well all take a ride!
