Battle Cry of Freedom

Battle Cry of Freedom G.F. Root

Yes we'll rally 'round the flag, boys,
We'll rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom;
We will rally from the hillside,
We'll gather 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 for
Three Hundred Thousand more,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom,
And we'll fill the vacant ranks
Of our brothers gone before,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
