G C G D
I was just a little boy in elementary school
G C
English and Math and Science class
G D G
Learning the golden rule
G C
I learned how to add and how to subtract
G D
How to multiply and divide
G C
I learned about bugs and I learned about plants
G D G
And I learned how to read and write
G C G D
But my most favorite class of all was my last class of the day
G C G D G
When my history teacher would tell us tales of old times long gone away
G C G
I was amazed at the way she knew all the people and their names and the
D
places and the dates
G C G D G
Because when I first learned about General Lee and his Thirteen rebel states.

:Tabbing:

G C G D G
One day she came to school with a big brown grocery bag
G C
She opened it up we all helped her hold her up
G D G
This great big X-shaped flag
G C G D
She said "Class, now only a fool would tell you this flag is a symbol of hate
G C G D
It represents the men who fought and died with pride for our Confederate
G
states

G C G D
Your assignment tonight, I want you to write, I want you to pretend
G C
That one of these brave men came back to life,
G D G
What would you say to him
G C G
Well the school bell rang and I thought and I thought as the bus carried me
D
across town
G C G D G
I got out my pencil and my notebook pad and this is what I wrote down


G
I wrote

G C
Mr. Confederate man,
G D
I'd like to shake your hand
G C
For giving your life for Dixieland
G D G
Mr. Confederate man,

The next day in history class, I put my paper on the teacher's desk
Then she called me up in front of everyone,
because she said she liked mine the best
As I walked up to the head of the class,
my teacher smiled and she nodded at me
Then I saw a tear roll down her cheek as I began to read

I read

Mr. Confederate man,
I'd like to shake your hand
For giving your life for Dixieland
Mr. Confederate man,

Played quiet:

I was at home reading through the news, just the other day
When I ran across my old teacher's name and I saw that she had passed away
With a bitter-sweet smile I looked up at my wall, a wrinkled paper and an
old wood frame
Where underneath penciled words almost faded away, she had marked a great
big red A
Plus

Mr. Confederate man,
I'd like to shake your hand
For giving your life for Dixieland
Mr. Confederate man,

I wrote

Mr. Confederate man,
I'd like to shake your hand
For giving your life for Dixieland
Mr. Confederate man...
