His parents taught him to be a Cavalier,
But the life of a Zou-zu he much did prefer;
For his heart’s with his Country in right or in wrong,
And in Richmond with Burnside, he’ll be afore long.
For his spirit, etc.
My fond heart is beating for him constantly,
But I fear his affections may waver from me;
For a sweetheart can be found in each State, I am told,
By a young man, a Zou-zu, only nineteen years old.
For his spirit, etc.
