| While |
we were |
march |
ing through |
Georgia. |
How the people shouted when they heard the joyful sound!
How the turkeys gobbled which our commissary found!
How the sweet potatoes even started from the ground,
While we were marching through Georgia.
Yes, and there were Union men
who wept with joyful tears,
When they saw the honored flag
they had not seen for years;
Hardly could they be restrained
from breaking forth in cheers,
While we were marching through Georgia.
"Sherman's dashing Yankee boys
will never reach the coast!"
So the saucy Rebels said, and 'twas a handsome boast;
Had they not forgot, alas! to reckon with the host,
While we were marching through Georgia.
So we made a thoroughfare for Freedom and her train,
Sixty miles in latitude, three hundred to the main;
Treason flied before us, for resistance was in vain,
While we were marching through Georgia.
