Part 7

John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back, John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back, John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back, His soul's marching on!

CHORUS.

Glory Hally, Hallelujah! Glory Hally, Hallelujah! Glory Hally, Hallelujah! His soul's marching on!

His pet lamps will meet him on the way, His pet lamps will meet him on the way, His pet lamps will meet him on the way, They go marching on!

CHORUS.

Glory Hally, Hallelujah! Glory Hally, Hallelujah! Glory Hally, Hallelujah! They go marching on!

They will hang Jeff Davis to a sour apple tree! They will hang Jeff Davis to a sour apple tree! They will hang Jeff Davis to a sour apple tree! As they march along!

CHORUS.

Glory Hally, Hallelujah! Glory Hally, Hallelujah! Glory Hally, Hallelujah! As they march along!

Now, three rousing cheers for the Union! Now, three rousing cheers for the Union! Now, three rousing cheers for the Union! As we are marching on!

CHORUS.

Glory Hally, Hallelujah! Glory Hally, Hallelujah! Glory Hally, Hallelujah! Hip, hip, hip, hip, Hurrah!

BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM.

(Used by permission of S. Brainard's Sons.)

KEY OF G FLAT.

Yes, we'll rally round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of freedom; 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, 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 of our brothers gone before, Shouting the battle cry of freedom; And we'll fill the vacant ranks with a million freemen more, Shouting the battle cry of freedom.--CHORUS.

We will welcome to our ranks the loyal, true, and brave, Shouting the battle cry of freedom; And altho' they may be poor, not a man shall 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.--CHORUS.

BONNIE BLUE FLAG.

We are a band of patriots, Who each leave home and friend Our noble Constitution And banner to defend; Our Capitol was threatened, And the cry rose near and far To protect our country's glorious flag That glitters with many a star.

CHORUS.

Hurrah, hurrah, for the Union, boys, hurrah! Hurrah for our forefathers' good old flag That glitters with many a star.

Much patience and forbearance The North has always shown Toward her Southern brethren, Who had each way their own; But when we made our President A man whom we desired Their wrath was roused, they mounted guns, And on Fort Sumter fired.--CHORUS.

They forced the war upon us, For peaceful men are we; They steal our money, seize our forts, And then as cowards flee; False to their vows and to the flag That once protected them, They sought the Union to dissolve, Earth's noblest, brightest gem.--CHORUS.

We're in the right and will prevail, The Stars and Stripes must fly, The "bonnie blue flag" be hauled down, And every traitor die; Freedom and peace enjoyed by all As ne'er was known before, Our Spangled Banner wave on high, With stars just thirty-four.--CHORUS.
