>(ascribed to Carrie Bell Sinclair)

>Oh, yes, I am a Southern girl,
>And glory in the name,
>And boast it with far greater pride
>Than glittering wealth or fame.
>We envy not the Northern girl,
>Her robes or beauty rare,
>Though diamonds grace her snowy neck,
>And pearls bedeck her hair.
>cho: Hurrah! Hurrah!
>For the sunny South so dear;
>Three cheers for the homespun dress
>The Southern ladies wear.
>The homespun dress is plain, I know,
>My hat's palmetto, too;
>But then it shows what Southern girls
>For Southern rights will do.
>We have sent the bravest of our land
>To battle with the foe,
>And we will lend a helping hand
>We love the South, you know.
>Now, Northern goods are out of date;
>And since old Abe's blockade,
>We Southern girls can be content
>With goods that's Southern made.
>We sent our sweethearts to the war
>But dear girls, never mind,
>Your soldier-love will ne'er forget
>The girl he left behind.
>The soldier is the lad for me ---
>A brave heart I adore;
>And when the sunny South is free,
>And fighting is no more,
>I'll choose me then a lover brave
>From out the gallant band,
>The soldier lad I love the best
>Shall have my heart and hand.
>The Southern land's a glorious land,
>And has a glorious cause;
>Then cheer three cheers for Southern rights
>And for the Southern boys.
>We scorn to wear a bit or silk,
>A bit of Northern lace;
>But make our homespun dresses up,
>And wear them with such grace.
>And now, young man, a word to you;
>If you would win the fair,
>Go to the field where honor calls,
>And win your lady there.
>Remember that our brightest smiles
>Are for the true and brave,
>And that our tears are all for those
>Who fill a soldier's grave.
