American Old Time Song Lyrics: 03 The Blue And The Gray
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 3
THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.
Sung by Harrigan and Hart.
America, my jewel,
We sing most cheerfully;
Your troubles now are ended.
As we are all glad to see.
We fought it out like heroes.
Till side by side we lay,
On many a gory battle-field,
The Boys in Blue and Gray.
Chorus.
Hurrah! for our gallant soldier boys,
Lets shout a wild hurrah!
Hurrah! for our gallaut sailor boys.
Each gallant bold Jack Tar-
Should a foreign foe insult us,
Right eager for the fray,
It's hand to hand with Dixie's band,
We'd march in Blue and Gray.
Oh! noble men have fallen
On each and every side.
We uncover to their memory,
Graves cannot glory hide.
We only have one country.
The people firmly say,
Our flag, the glorious stars and stripes.
To guide us on our way.-Chorus.
Columbia, my darling,
From Maine to Mexico,
May you live in peace and harmony,
Prosperity ever flow-
May the sun shine brightly on you,
With joy in every ray,
Your faith E Pluribus Unum strong,
To honor and obey.-Chorus.
