The Battle Cry of Freedom 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. Chorus The Union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah! Down with the traitor, 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 For three hundred thousand more Shouting the battle cry of freedom And we'll fill the vacant ranks Of our brothers gone before Shouting the battle cry of freedom. Chorus We will welcome to our numbers The loyal, true and brave Shouting the battle cry of freedom And although he may be poor He shall never 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.
