about

This was written early, early on in '83 or '84 just after I'd read Gone With The Wind. We recorded it along with Go West Young Man at CRC in Chicago as our first foray into a studio with the band. Those demos are somewhere. If I can find them maybe we'll release them one day

lyrics

Red Hot Rebel
© 1984 Steve Summers

Her eyes are gray, mine are blue
She say, "Y'all"
l say, "You"
Fly Bonnie Blue forever more
Our great grandaddies fought each other in the Civil War

An' she's a Red Hot Rebel (Red Hot Rebel!)
Red Hot Rebel (Red Hot Rebel!)
Red Hot Rebel (Red Hot Rebel!)
Red Hot Rebel (Red Hot Rebel!)
Well she's a Red Hot Rebel
An' I'm a Damn Yankee till l die

Hey! Hey!

Her family's old, tradition rich
Call Gen'ral Grant "Son of a Bitch"
Her battle cry's the Rebel Yell
She's a pedigreed, hoop-skirt, blazin' Southern Belle

An' she's a Red Hot Rebel (Red Hot Rebel!)
Red Hot Rebel (Red Hot Rebel!)
Red Hot Rebel (Red Hot Rebel!)
Red Hot Rebel (Red Hot Rebel!)
Well she's a Red Hot Rebel
An' l'm a Damn Yankee till l die

Her line goes back to times when Cotton was King
When she call me "Scalliwag"
l don't know what she means
l come from Vermont where the winters are brisk
She could melt the frozen tundra with a fiery southern kiss

An' she's a Red Hot Rebel (Red Hot Rebel!)
Red Hot Rebel (Red Hot Rebel!)
Red Hot Rebel (Red Hot Rebel!)
Red Hot Rebel (Red Hot Rebel!)
Well she's a Red Hot Rebel
An' l'm a Damn Yankee till l die

Hey!

Wahoo!
Yaaa-hoo!!

Hey! Hey!

l'm goin' down to Georgia to
Bring back my baby,
Oop-scooby-doo!
l'm headin' south and feelin' fine
Can't wait to get across that Mason Dixon Line

'Cause she's a Red Hot Rebel (Red Hot Rebel!)

about

EIEIO Sierra Madre, California

EIEIO, est. 1983, put out "Land of Opportunity" and "That Love Thang" on Frontier Records in the mid '80's. In 1999 after a ten year break, we decided to play again and released "EIEIO" in 2007. Here you'll get unreleased material, and hopefully new material from Rob Harding, Mike Hoffmann, Mike Gorman, Scott Gorsuch and me, Steve Summers, time and distance permitting. Thanks for checking in. ... more
