American Old Time Song Lyrics: 59 The Battle Cry Of Freedom
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 59
THE BATTLE-CRY OF FREEDOM.
Yes, we'll rally 'round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again.
Shouting the battle-cry of freedom;
We'll rally from the hillside, we'll rally from the plain,
Shouting the battle-cry of freedom.
CHORUS.
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 of our brothers gone before.
Shouting the battle-cry of freedom;
And we'll till the vacant ranks with a million freemen more.
Shouting the battle-cry of freedom.-Chorus.
We will welcome to our numbers the loyal, true and brave.
Shouting the battle cry of freedom:
And altho' he may be poor, he shall never be a slave.
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.-Chorus.
So we're springing to the call from the East and from the West,
Shouting the battle-cry of freedom:
And we'll hurl the rebel crew from the land we loved the best.
Shouting the battle-cry of freedom.-Chorus.
