No. 1 - Machine-Gun Cart
An old song from the Southron Civil War era (1896-1900), this tune is an ode to the iconic "machine-gun chariots" of the Red Cavalry that helped to defeat the Grey forces and those of interventionist New England and Michigania.

Bird, fly off the road and quickly,
Better hurry or you're dead!
Don't you see the dust a'swirling,
Horses charging far ahead?
Blasting, turning, fire pouring,
into lines of enemies!
His machine-gun rattling, roaring,
through the fields and through the trees.
Hey, machine-gun cart from Richmond,
you're our joy and your our pride!
Charging forth with lightning and with thunder,
four wheels humming as they ride!
Hey, machine-gun cart from Houston,
you're our joy and you're our pride!
fiery chariot of the army,
breaking wave upon the tide!
Crossed Ohio and Missouri,
through the wide prairie!
Tanned and dusty our young gunner,
fighting through our enemy!
As unstoppable and mighty,
as our proud and wild steeds.
Manes of wind, smoke, storm, and fire,
waving fearless in the breeze!
Hey gun-cart from old New Orleans,
you're our joy and you're our pride!
Charging forth with lightning and with thunder,
four wheels humming as they ride!
Hey, machine-gun cart from Raleigh,
you're our joy and you're our pride!
fiery chariot of the army,
breaking wave upon the tide!
Hey machine-gun cart from Jackson,
you're our joy and you're our pride!
Charging forth with lightning and with thunder,
four wheels humming as they ride!
Hey, machine-gun cart from Nashville,
you're our joy and you're our pride!
fiery chariot of the army,
breaking wave upon the tide!
