126. the camp war song.
Raise the Banner, raise it high, boys ILet it float against the sky;
“God be with us!” this our cry, boys;
Under it we'll do, or die.
1ST Cho.--Arise to glory, glory, glory!
Our country calls — march on! march on,
2D Cho.--Co-ca-che-lunk-che-lunk-che-la-ly,
Co-ca-che-lunk-che-lunk-che-lay,
Co-ca-che-lunk-cle-lunk-che-la-ly,
Rig-a-ge-dig, and away we go!
Rebel miscreants, stand from under;
Ye who bear the traitor's name!
Every star's a bolt of thunder--
Every stripe a living flame!
Arise, &c.
By our patriot sires in glory,
By our sainted Washington,
We will fight, till every Tory
Falls, that breathes beneath the sun I
Arise, &c.
By our homes, our hearths, and altars,
By our sweethearts, children, wives,
He who from our Union falters,
Dies, hath he a thousand lives!
Arise, &c.
Under Scott, our valiant leader,
We will lay the traitors low;
Crushed to earth, each vile seceder
Soon shall to our vengeance bow.
Arise, &c.
Anderson! thy name shall cheer us
'Mid the war-field's bloody strife;
Old Fort Sumter yet shall hear us
Call her battlements to life!
Arise, &c.
God of battles! we implore Thee,
Nerve our souls, make strong our arms;
Bless us, as we bow before Thee,
In the midst of war s alarms.
Arise, &c.
[104] Our spangled banner waving o'er us,
We come, avengers of the free!
Shout, boys, shout! the foe's before us!
Union--God--and Liberty!
1ST Cho.--Arise to glory, glory, glory!
Our country calls — march on! march on
2D Cho.-Co-ca-che-lunk-che-lunk-che-la-ly,
Co-ca-che-lunk-che-lunk-che-lay,
Co-ca-che-lunk-che-lunk-che-la-ly,
Rig-a-ge-dig, and away we go!
