Hello From the Union Side (Adele Civil War Parody)
High School / History / Civil War
Here is a parody we made for our students to help them understand sectionalism and the civil war. "Hello From the Union Side" Midway Middle School Lyrics By: Lauren Bagwell Hello, it's me, "I was wondering if after all you’d choose not to secede. We’ve been over everything They say that time's supposed to heal ya But we ain't done much healing Hello, did you hear me I'm in the capitol just dreaming about who we used to be When we were united and strong I've forgotten how it felt before the war tore us apart There's not much difference between us just our views on state’s rights Hello from the Union side I must have wrote a thousand times To tell you that slavery should no longer be done But when I wrote it never seem to hit home Hello from the outside At least I can say that I've tried To warn you I'm worried bout breaking apart But it don't matter now clearly to Confederate states anymore Hello, how are you? It's so typical of you to talk about yourself I'm weary I hope that you're well Did you plan to start this war thinking it’d ever happen? It's no secret that the both of us Are running out of time Hello from the Union side I must have wrote a thousand times To tell you that slavery should no longer be done But when I wrote it never seem to hit home Hello from the outside At least I can say that I've tried Please tell me you’re sorry for breaking apart Does it not matter dearly to Confederate states anymore Ooooohh, anymore Ooooohh, anymore Ooooohh, anymore Anymore Remix: Hope you understand the problem at hand A nation divided brought trouble to the land The north had Grant and the Rebels had Lee 61-65 saw so much fighting Bro vs Bro south was sure to win Vicksburg, Gettysburg wrecked their plans Turning points for the North, Lee saw his fall Appomattox Courthouse ended this brawl Lincoln knew this wasn’t the end But we drop the mic as rebuilding begins"
