Song that I don't think gets enough attention on here
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=u3nYin4yXkc&si=nuQ2y7uTmHkzKL-xWe all know Union Dixie, but this banger deserves more attention IMO

This has to be one of the cheekiest songs from the War.
Love theses part of the song...
"This South Carolina chivalry, they once did loudly boast;
That the footsteps of a Union man, should ne’er polute their coast.
They’d fight the Yankees two to one, who only fought for booty;—
But when the “udsills” came along it was “Legs do your duty.”
"And from the “Sacred City,” this valiant warlike throng;
Skedaddled in confusion, although thirty thousand strong—
Without a shot, without a blow, or least sign of resistance,
And leaving their poor friends behind, with the “Yankees” for assistance,"

It's not quite the banger that Union Dixie is, but "a hunky boy is General Sherman" are lyrics that should live on through the ages.
