The Battle Cry of Freedom

 This song was written by George F. Root at the time of the Civil War.

Yes, we'll rally 'round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom;
We will rally from the hillside, we'll gather from the plain,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.

The Union forever Hurrah! boys, Hurrah!
Bright in its glory shines ev'ry 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 patriots more;
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.

The Union forever Hurrah! boys, Hurrah!
Bright in its glory shines ev'ry star,
While we rally 'round the flag, boys, rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.

Oh! then rally 'round the flag, boys, wherever it may wave,
Shouting the battle cryo of Freedom;
And we'll fill the vacant ranks with a million patriots more;
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.

The Union forever Hurrah! boys, Hurrah!
Bright in its glory shines ev'ry star,
While we rally 'round the flag, boys, rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
