HOW ARE YOU, GENERAL LEE? 311
From the foes of Freedom ever It must and shall be free.
It must and shall be free, It must and shall be free; From the foes of Freedom ever It must and shall be free.

HOW ARE YOU, GENERAL LEE ?
OF General Lee, the Rebel chief, you all perhaps
do know
How he came North a short time since to spend a
month or so; But soon he found the climate warm, although a
Southern man, And quickly hurried up his cakes, and toddled
home again. Chorus — How are you, General Lee ? it is; why don't you longer stay ? How are your friends in Maryland and Pennsylvania ?
Jeff. Davis met him coming back; " Why, General
Lee," he said, " What makes you look and stagger so ? there's
whiskey in your head."
