re: On Thursday remember to give thanks for all of the Yankees in your life.

you laugh at the guy saying that Ohio is a great place to raise a family.

I was agreeing with him. We both lived in Cincinnati in the past, it seems. Sounds like we’d both move back, given the chance

I only thank the Jamaicans mon. Me no nee no yankeemon. Yankeemon kill jamaicamons for pleasure bees evil like devil. Curses evil curses I wish them Mon. Jah will speak curses upon yankeemons.

Oh, I'm a good old rebel
Now thats just what I am
And for this Yankee nation
I do not give a damn
I'm glad I fought against her
I only wish we'd won
I ain't asked any pardon
For anything I've done

I hates the Yankee nation
And eveything they do
I hates the declaration
Of independence too
I hates the glorious union
'Tis dripping with our blood
I hates the striped banner
And fought it all I could

I rode with Robert E. Lee
For three years there about
Got wounded in four places
And I starved at Point Lookout
I caught the rheumatism
Campin' in the snow
But I killed a chance of Yankees
And I'd like to kill some more

Three hundred thousand Yankees
Is stiff in southern dust
We got three hundred thousand
Before they conquered us
They died of southern fever
And southern steel and shot
I wish they was three million
Instead of what we got

I can't take up my musket
And fight 'em down no more
But I ain't a-goin' to love them
Now that is certain sure
And I don't want no pardon
For what I was and am
I won't be reconstructed
And I do not give a damn

Oh, I'm a good old rebel
Now that's just what I am
And for this Yankee nation
I do not give a damn
I'm glad I fought against her
I only wish we'd won
I ain't asked any pardon
For anything I've done
I ain't asked any pardon
For anything I've done...

Just a reminder that Virginians were the first Americans to declare a holiday for thanksgiving, a few years before those Yankees at Plymouth.
