Battle Cry of Freedom 2nd South Carolina String Band

[Verse 1]
Oh, we'll rally 'round the flag, boys
We'll rally once again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom
And we'll rally from the hillside
We'll 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 stars!
And we'll rally 'round the flag, boys, rally once again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

[Verse 2]
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 freedmen more
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

[Chorus]
The Union forever!
Hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with thе traitor!
And up with the stars!
And we'll rally 'round the flag, boys, rally oncе again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom
