Verse On Lee’s Invasion Of The North

Gen. Lees invasion of the North written by himself—

In eighteen sixty three, with pomp,

and mighty swell,

Me and Jeff’s Confederacy, went

forth to sack Phil-del,

The Yankees the got arter us, and

giv us particular hell,

And we skedaddled back again,

And didn’t sack Phil-del.
