Great snippets of information on Louisianians that you have been posting. I ran across this song about our state you may like. It is from early in the war so it only covers the Battle of Manassas.

Abe's Wagons.
Air - Wait for the Wagon
By P. M.

Come all ye sons of freedom and join our Southern band,
We're going to fight the Yankees and drive them from our land.
For justice is our motto and God is our guide,
So jump up in Abe's wagons, and all take a ride.

So wait for the wagons,

Abe's Yankee wagons;

Wait for the wagons,

And we'll all take a ride.

Secession is our watchword, our rights we will demand,
And to defend our firesides, we pledge our heart and hand.
Jeff. Davis is our president, with Stephens by his side,
When Beauregard and Johnson, will join us in a ride.

Wait for the wagons.

Our wagon is plenty big enough, the running gear is good,
Tis stuffed with cotton around the sides, and made of Southern wood.
South Carolina is our driver, with Georgia by her side,
Virginia holds our nag up, and we'll all take a ride.

Wait for the wagons.

There's Tennessee and Texas are also in the ring,
And wouldn't have a government where cotton isn't king.
Alabama too, and Florida have long ago replied,
Mississippi's in the wagon and anxious for a ride.

Wait for the wagons.

Missouri, North Carolina, and Arkansas were slow,
They must hurry or we'll leave them, then where would they go.
There's old Kentuck and Maryland, each can't make up their mind,
So I reckon after all, we'll take then up behind.

Wait for the wagons.

Louisiana's just and holy, her men are brave and true,
She's joined with us to whip them, is all she'll have to do.
God bless our little army, in Jeff. Davis we do confide,
So come boys in the wagon, and all take a ride.

Wait for the wagons.

We met them at Manassas, all formed in bold array,
And the battle was not ended when they all ran away.
Some left their guns and knapsack, in their legs they did confide,
We overhauled Scott's carriage, and his epaulets besides.

Wait for the wagons.

Louisiana's Tiger Rifles, they rushed in for their lines,
And the way they slayed the Yankees, with their long Bowie knives.
They laid there by the hundreds, as it next day did appear,
With a countenance quite open, that gaped from ear to ear.

Wait for the wagons.

The battle being ended, and Patterson sent back,
Because he did not fight us, for courage he did lack.
Abe Lincoln he got so very mad, when his army took a slide,
And we jumped into his wagons, and we all took a ride.

Wait for the wagons." .
