Civil War Music Compilation

Howdy y'all, I thought it'd be a swell idea to compile a list of YouTube videos of Civil War songs. I am continually astounded by the music that came out of this conflict, and it's great to listen to while playing the mod! So without further ado, enjoy:


Dixie (instrumental)
To Arms in Dixie
The Bonnie Blue Flag (instrumental)
The Yellow Rose of Texas
Rose of Alabamy
The Southern Wagon (less Irish version)
The Irish Brigade
Oh I'm a Good Ol' Rebel
Oh Susanna
Southern Soldier
Ol' Dan Tucker
Jine the Cavalry
Wearing of the Grey
March of the Southern Men
Song of the Irish Brigade
Stonewall Jackson's Way
Arkansas Traveler (sorry, no lyrics)
Jackson in the Valley
Maryland, my Maryland
Red, White, and Blue
Sabine Pass
Shiloh's Hill
Sumpter Rifles
Goober Peas <--- My favourite! ;D
The Battle of Pea Ridge
The Hunley

Battle Hymn of the Republic (instrumental)
Battle Cry of Freedom
When Johnny Comes Marching Home (instrumental)
We'll Fight for Uncle Sam
The Boys that Wore the Green
@#!*%  on the Wabash (sorry, no lyrics)
The New York Volunteers
Army of the Free
Lorena
The Girl I Left Behind Me
We Are Coming Father Abraham
Old 1812 (no lyrics)

*Many of these songs were sung by both sides, albeit sometimes with different lyrics.
**This list is severely lacking in Union songs at the moment...
***Sadly, many of the instrumental versions are quite short...

If anyone's got more songs in mind, or knows of a better version of one up there, please do let me know. I'll be happy to keep updating this list!

Some Confederate ones:

Jackson in the Valley
Jine the Cavalry (In my opinion, better than Horton's version.)
Maryland, my Maryland
Red, White, and Blue
Sabine Pass
Shiloh's Hill
Sumpter Rifles
Goober Peas
The Battle of Pea Ridge
The Hunley
The Kennesaw Line
The Soldier's Farewell
The Southern Wagon

A couple of the Irish ones (The Hunley and Sabine Pass) may have been written in more recent days, as I've yet to find a source for when they were written.

Nice ones! Shall I add them? (Or you can keep 'em there. I've replaced "Jine the Cavalry" already though, I agree.) And, yeah there's a couple of mine I don't know when they were written as well.

You should put them in it's not like he has copyright on the songs xD

Fine!

Do you have an instrumental corner? I like the musik, but more without lyrics!
That would be great if you can give us more instrumental ****!

I'll see what I can find.

Yeah, feel free to add them. Like has been said, I don't own these, I just found 'em on Youtube. (Sorry for taking so long to reply)

Also;
Flight of Doodles

I've found that Tennessee Ernie Ford sings most of the songs best, compared to others.

NICE THREAD ! 

I've been continuing this over on the FSE forums, thought I'd update it here as well. Enjoy, and as always do suggest those I've missed!
