For the full Jubilation T Cornpone treatment:

Jubilation T Cornpone–

Lyrics:
When we fought the Yankees and annihilation was near,
Who was there to lead the charge that took us safe to the rear?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone; Old “Toot your own horn - pone.”
Jubilation T. Cornpone, a man who knew no fear!

When we almost had ‘em but the issue still was in doubt,
Who suggested the retreat that turned it into a rout?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone; Old “Tattered and torn - pone.”
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he kept us hidin’ out!

When it seemed like our brave boys would keep on fighting for months,
Who took pity on them and ca-pit-u-lated at once?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone; Unshaven and shorn - pone.
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he weren’t nobody’s dunce!

Stonewall Jackson got his name by standing firm in the fray.
Who was known to all his men as good ol’ “Paper Mache?”
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone; *****
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he really saved the day!

From the movie version;

History says that General Grant was pretty good with a jug,
Who went drink for drink with him and wound up under the rug?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone; Passed out until morn - pone.
Jubilation T. Cornpone, his whiskers in his mug!

And my favorite.

Hearing that a Northern spy had come to town for the night,
Who gained entrance to her room and lost the glorious fight?
Why it was Jubilation T. Cornpone; Old “Weary and worn - pone.”
Jubilation T. Cornpone, he fought all through the night!
