Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. The Homespun Dress. Oh, Yes, I am a Southern girl, And glory in the name, I boast of it with greater pride Than glittering wealth or fame. I envy not the Northern girl Her robes of beauty rare. Tho’ diamonds deck her snowy neck And pearls bedeck her hair. Chorus Hurrah! Hurrah! For the sunny South, so dear! Three cheers for the homespun dress The Southern ladies wear. Now Northern goods are out of date, And since Old Abe’s blockade, We Southern girls can be content With goods that’s Southern made.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 send our sweethearts to the war, But,girls,ne’er you mind--- Your soldier love will not forget the girl he left behind. 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 of silk, A bit of Northern lace, But make our homespun dresses up, And wear them with a grace. And now young men, a word tonyou, If you would win the fair, Go to the fields where honor calls And win your lady there. Remember that your brightest smiles Are for the true and brave And that our tears are all for those that fill the soldier’s grave.
