Oh, yes, she is a Southern girl
And glory in the name
And boast it with far greater pride
Than glittering wealth or fame
She envies not the Northern girl
Her robes or beauty rare
Though diamonds grace her snowy neck
And pearls bedeck her hair

Hurrah! Hurrah!
For the sunny South so dear
Three cheers for the homespun dress
The Southern ladies wear

Her homespun dress is plain and old
Perhaps palmetto, too
But then it shows what Southern girls
For Southern rights will do
They've sent the bravest of our land
To battle with the foe
And they will lend a helping hand
They love the South, you know

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Now, Northern goods are out of date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
You’re sent our sweethearts to the war
But dear girls, never mind
Your soldier boy will ne’er forget
The girl he left behind

Hurrah! Hurrah!
For the sunny South so dear
Three cheers for the homespun dress
The Southern ladies wear

Hurrah! Hurrah!
For the sunny South so dear
Three cheers for the homespun dress
The Southern ladies wear
