You sure started sump'in when you dumped your kiddie cart,
Toys and dolls are scattered ev'rywhere
Peck o' mischief,
don't know why I always take your part,
Sweet infernal,
little colonel curly head
curly head

We salute you!
Little Colonel,
In your uniform so shiny and bright
You're so cute,
you Little Colonel,
You have won the heart of ev'ry soldier in sight

You start each battle
but we take your part,
Though you're born a Yankee
You're a rebel deep down in your heart
Go to sleep now,
Little Colonel

Farewell to arms for tonight
