[Verse]
When we fought the Yankees
And annihilation was near
Who was there to lead the charge
That took us safe to the rear?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
Old "Toot your own horn pone"
Jubilation T. Cornpone
A man who knew no fear
When we almost had 'em
But the issue still was in doubt
Who suggested the retreat
That turned it into a rout?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone
Old "Tattered and Torn Pone"
Jubilation T. Cornpone
He kept us hiding out
With our ammunition gone and
Faced with utter defeat
Left us with nothing to eat?
Why it wuz Jubilation T. Cornpone
Old "September Morn-pone"
Jubilation T. Cornpone
The pants blown off his seat
