While we rally round the cause, boys, we'll rally in our might, Our noble women also have aided them at home.Ĭhorus Chorus (1864 election campaign) įor Lincoln and Johnson, hurrah, boys, hurrah!ĭown with the rebellion and on with the war, While our boys have responded and to the fields have gone. Their motto is resistance - "To tyrants we'll not yield!" They have laid down their lives on the bloody battle field. Our gallant boys have marched to the rolling of the drums.Īnd the leaders in charge cry out, "Come, boys, come!" We'll rally 'round the bonny flag, we'll rally once again, Our Dixie forever! She's never at a loss!ĭown with the eagle and up with the cross! Our flag is proudly floating on the land and on the main,īeneath it oft we've conquered, and we'll conquer oft again! So we're springing to the call from the East and from the West,Īnd we'll hurl the rebel crew from the land we love best, We will welcome to our numbers the loyal, true and brave,Īnd although he may be poor, not a man shall be a slave, We are springing to the call with a million freemen more,Īnd we'll fill our vacant ranks of our brothers gone before, While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again, We will rally from the hillside, we'll gather from the plain, ![]() Yes we'll rally round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again, ![]() This is notable, because their citizens were enemies but sung the same patriotic song.
