Theme Song from 2000 Maniacs Lyrics by Herschell Gordon Lewis

Two Thousand Maniacs! Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

0

[Verse 1]
There's a story you should know
From a hundred years ago
And a hundred years we've waited now to tell
Now, the Yankees come along
And they'll listen to this song
And they'll quake in fear to hear this rebel yell
(And they'll quake in fear to hear this rebel yell)

[Chorus]
(Yee-haw
Oh, the South's gonna rise again
Yee-haw
Oh, the South's gonna rise again)

[Verse 2]
Robert E. Lee
Broke his musket on his knee
And a thousand pieces shattered on the ground
But he looked up then
And he gathered up his men
And from his lips there came an awful sound
(And from his lips there came an awful sound)

[Chorus]
(Yee-haw
Oh, the South's gonna rise again
Yee-haw
Oh, the South's gonna rise again)

[Verse 3]
Stonewall took a gun
And he made the Yankees run
But he took a fatal bullet in the chest
As he fell down dead
Old Stonewall said
"I'm a-givin' you a dyin' man's request"
("I'm a-givin' you a dyin' man's request")

[Chorus]
(Hee-haw
Oh, the South's gonna rise again
Hee-haw
Oh, the South's gonna rise again)

[Verse 4]
Jeb Stuart spurred his horse
And the Yankees ran of course
But there wasn't any powder for his gun
So he said to his boys
"Let's make a lot of noise
And we'll charge again and make them Yankees run"
("And we'll charge again and make them Yankees run")

[Chorus]
(Hee-haw
Oh, the South's gonna rise again
Hee-haw
Oh, the South's gonna rise again)

[Verse 2]
Robert E. Lee
Broke his musket on his knee
And a thousand pieces shattered on the ground
But he looked up then
And he gathered up his men
And from his lips there came an awful sound
(And from his lips there came an awful sound)

[Chorus]
(Yee-haw
Oh, the South's gonna rise again
Yee-haw
Oh, the South's gonna rise again)
