The Battle Cry of Freedom


Oh we'll rally round the flag boys
rally once again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom
We will rally from the hillsides
We will gather from the plain
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

(Chorus) 
The Union forever!, Hurrah boys Hurrah
Down with the traitor and 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 before
Shouting the battle cry of freedom
And we'll fill the vacant ranks
with a million free men more
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

(Chorus)

We will welcome to our ranks 
all the loyal true and brave
Shouting the battle cry of freedom
and although they may be poor
not a man shall be a slave
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

(Chorus)

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)
