snowyday Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 THE OLD CONFEDERATE’S STORY We had all grown weary listening, To the stories of war and death. When the old Confederate rested A moment to catch his breath. And one disgusted listener, In rather sarcastic tone, Said: “Now, see here, old soldier, As we’re all of us alone; Come, tell us, about how many Of the Yanks did you ever kill?†The Old Confederate answered, “It’s a ticklish question. Still, I don’t mind tellin’ it private, An’ in confidence jest to you; I’ve been figgerin’ ‘em up here lately, An’, infact, I’ve just got through. It’s a strange coincidence, very, “Bout the strangest I ever see Fur I killed jest as many of theyuns, As theyuns killed of me!†The Galveston Daily News, Galveston, Texas, February 11, 1884 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
