His sceptre has sunk 'neath the swift Tennessee— And the Southern heart and the Southern hand, From classic Potomac to bold Rio Grande, Still push on to battle, when floating they see The flag of the Southland—the flag of the free!

Sons of freedom, on to glory,
Go where brave men do or die ; Let your names in future story
Gladden every patriot's eye; 'Tis your country calls you hasten,
Backward hurl the invading foe; Freemen, never think of danger,
To the glorious battle go.
Ob, remember gallant Jackson,
Single-handed in the fight, Death blows dealt the fierce marauder,
For his liberty and right;
