American Old Time Song Lyrics: 33 The Battle Cry Of Freedom
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 33
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 fill 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 although 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.
