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 will rally from the hill-side, 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 of our brothers gone be-
fore,
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 altho' they may be poor, not a man shall be a
slave,
Shouting the battle-cry of freedom.— Chorus.

272

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.
