A BATTLE SONG.
Here's a song for the Nor'land,
For the greenfield and foreland,
For the wild wind and all;
If the old world wax older,
March with shoulder to shoulder
And with rifle and ball.
For the greenfield and foreland,
For the wild wind and all;
If the old world wax older,
March with shoulder to shoulder
And with rifle and ball.
Here's a song for the redcoat,
For the living and dead coat
In our woe and our weal;
If the bold world wax bolder,
Fight with shoulder to shoulder
And with bullet and steel.
For the living and dead coat
In our woe and our weal;
If the bold world wax bolder,
Fight with shoulder to shoulder
And with bullet and steel.
Here's a song for the seaman,
For the faithful and free man,
In the times out of joint;
If the cold world wax colder,
Stand with shoulder to shoulder
And with parry and point.
For the faithful and free man,
In the times out of joint;
If the cold world wax colder,
Stand with shoulder to shoulder
And with parry and point.
