Our Battle-flag-hourrah!
To arms! to arms! the chearful days,
So long foretold's at hand!
And nearer comes the battle roar.
Like tumbling oceans on the shore,
With flags the rebel Angels bore,
Oershadowing the land.
Chorus.So long foretold's at hand!
And nearer comes the battle roar.
Like tumbling oceans on the shore,
With flags the rebel Angels bore,
Oershadowing the land.
Our Battle-flag, hourrah, boys!
Hourrah, hourrah, hourrah, boys!
Our Battleflag, hourrah!
Hourrah, hourrah, hourrah, boys!
Our Battleflag, hourrah!
Fling out, fling out, our Starry host!
Set in a midnight sky!
The flag that over Sumpter flew,
By night and day, until the blue
Of Heavens above was filtered through,
The clouds that thundered by.
Chorus.Set in a midnight sky!
The flag that over Sumpter flew,
By night and day, until the blue
Of Heavens above was filtered through,
The clouds that thundered by.
Our Battle-flag &c.
The flag that oer the Cumberland,
Outrode the battle-blast!
While the brave ship and gallant crew
Sank thundering in the waters blue,
With matches lighted, stern and true
Triumphant to the last!
Chorus.Outrode the battle-blast!
While the brave ship and gallant crew
Sank thundering in the waters blue,
With matches lighted, stern and true
Triumphant to the last!
Our Battle flag &c.
The vision that above the clouds,
Our Silent Soldiers led,
When up the Look-Out Mountain, they,
Through storm and darkness took their ways,
With eyes uplifted to the days,
Just breaking over-head!

Through storm and darkness took their ways,
