Three round
cheers for the
bright stars
and stripes


Three round
cheers for the
union as we
go marching on


The green mountain boys
their are bound for the south


The rebels think they wil have
some fun


They wil find it wil not be
a nother but run


The halter is ready for old
jeffs neck

Beauregard shal have his share
of the hemp


We will clear them out there
in every street


Col Ellisworth fate we never
shal for get


Of old Jeffs hair we wil
all have a lock


Gen Lyon we will avenge


Three round cheers for the
bright stars and stripes


We will bid fare well to
the kind friends at home


Glory Hallah Hallahlujah
“ “ “
“ “ “
As we go marching on


Our flag shal wave oer Sumpters wals.
