American Songs - The Battle Cry of Freedom lyrics
rate meYes, we'll rally round the flag, boys
Rally once again,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
We will rally from the hillside
We'll gather from the plains,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
The Union forever!
Hurrah boys hurrah!
Down with the traitor, up with the star,
While we rally round the flag, boys
Rally once again
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
We are springing to the call
For three hundred thousand more,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
And we'll fill the vacant ranks
Of our brothers gone before,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
The Union forever!
Hurrah boys hurrah!
Down with the traitor, up with the star,
While we rally round the flag, boys
Rally once again
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
We will welcome to our numbers
The loyal, true and brave,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
And although they may be poor
Not a man shall be a slave,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
The Union forever!
Hurrah boys hurrah!
Down with the traitor, up with the star,
While we rally round the flag, boys
Rally once again
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
Southern Version
We are marching to the field, boys,
We're going to the fight,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
And we bear the Heavenly cross,
For our cause is in the right,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
Our rights forever!
Hurrah boys hurrah!
Down with the tyrants, raise the Southern star,
And we'll rally round the flag, boys
We'll Rally once again
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
We'll meet the Yankee hosts, boys,
With fearless hearts and true,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
And we'll show the dastard minions
What Southern pluck can do,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
Our rights forever!
Hurrah boys hurrah!
Down with the tyrants, raise the Southern star,
And we'll rally round the flag, boys
We'll Rally once again
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
We'll fight them to the last, boys,
If we fall in the strife,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
Our comrades - noble boys!
Will avenge us, life for life,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom.
Our rights forever!
Hurrah boys hurrah!
Down with the tyrants, raise the Southern star,
And we'll rally round the flag, boys
We'll Rally once again
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!
