186. Yes, we'll rally round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again

1 Yes, we'll rally round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again.
Shouting the battle-cry of Freedom!
We will rally from the hill-side, we'll gather from the plain,
Shouting the battle-cry of Freedom!

Chorus:
The Union for ever, 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!

2 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]

3 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]

4 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 love the best.
Shouting the battle-cry of Freedom! [Chorus]
