He used to treat me kind
When I seen him killed in battle
I swear I lost my mind….
And black is nothing other
than a darker shade of Rebel grey

no, I’m pretty sure the singer in this is an African-American, and this isn’t made up there were Black Confederates according to the Library Of Congress. You should go do some research it’s interesting.
Wow. “I killed a dozen bluecoats.”
WTF? So the (white) singer is ventriloquizing for the black Sgt. York?
“I fought to save my Dixie, my home and cotton fields.”
I’m almost literally speechless.
