God Save the South (instrumental)

"God Save the South" is a poem-turned-song considered by some to have been the unofficial national anthem of the Confederate States of America.[1] The words were written in 1861 by George Henry Miles, under the pen name Earnest Halphin.[1] It was most commonly performed to a tune by Charles Wolfgang Amadeus Ellerbrock, although a second version was also published with a tune by C. T. De Cœniél.
