I remember a time
When there was always something
To do.
I remember a day when there were always parties
To go to.
I remember this and that.
Remember of that time.
I remember of the place,
Where my beaus and I used to dine.
I remember this and that.
A life before Charlie, and Aunt Pittypat.
I remember all of that.
How happy we used to be.
How fine food and wine filled the table
Every night at dinnertime
I re-mem-ber aaaallll of that
I remember a life
A life before Aunt Pittypat.
How happy we have been
To think it only was five years.
How happy we have all been,
We didn't even think about tears.
All of us
We were so oblivious,
We led a perfect life.
All of us
We had a perfect life
We did not know
What hunger or poverty was.
Our hoop skirts, and our undergarments
They were perfect and were took for granted.
Used with carelessness, with disregard
We didn't even think of wearing
The same petticoat twice.
All of us were happy
Life had no imperfection
But then it all changed (all changed)
The Yankees became in charge (in charge).
They told us that
They didn't like
The way we treat the niggers.
They thought of giving them
Some freedom
We disagreed
The niggers were meant to be
In captivity.
And thus the war began
Thus the war began
The Yankees started being everywhere
And I couldn't believe how vile they seemed
How if they caught me- they might rape or murder me.
To top it all of, to make things more worse,
I ran into Rhett Butler,
Who was very perverse.
And of course, Melly,
My "dear" old sister-in-law
So unselfish,
I hated her,
Yet she liked me
She was so blind
And loved me.
Spoke good and kindly of me
While I thought her as a wench.
Spoke good and kindly,
But I could care less.
The money was gone
The dresses were worn,
And torn.
The food was scarce
And Ashley was at war.
Those damn Yankees
May they burn to hell.
Those Yankees,
Maaaaaayyyyyyy, theeeeeeeyyyyy beeeeeeeeee
DAMNED
TO
HELL
Those Yankees,
DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!
