Livin' in a cottontail, when the Yankees came around
They say you're freedom-bound, they say you're freedom-bound
Don't mean a thing
'Cause there's no charity for my gun and me
They're ain't no-one free, they're ain't no-one free
In Dixieland
Will stand up honey-child, you mean so much to me
But there's no way I'm gonna be no whippin' boy
Well stand up honey-child, the truth is plain to see
There's no way I'm gonna be no whippin' boy
'Cos I don't need no overseer
And I don't need no night-time tears
And I don't need no warmer time of day
They're ain't no way, they're ain't no way
I'm gonna be no whippin' boy
No whippin' boy, baby, no whippin' boy, honey
Crossin' the county line, we may find peace of mind
God knows what we'll find, God knows what we'll find
My gun and me
'Cos all we have is pride, and no matter how they try
Can't change what we keep inside, what we keep inside
It's a God-given thing
Will stand up honey-child, you mean so much to me
But there's no way I'm gonna be no whippin' boy
Well stand up honey-child, the truth is plain to see
There's no way I'm gonna be no whippin' boy
'Cos I don't need no overseer
And I don't need no night-time tears
And I don't need no warmer time of day
They're ain't no way, they're ain't no way
I'm gonna be no whippin' boy
No whippin' boy, baby, no whippin' boy, honey
No whippin' boy, baby, no whippin' boy, honey
They're ain't no way, they're ain't no way, no whippin' boy
