Alton (Illinois, United States) (search for this): chapter 76
red that our land shall be free But if they stay away how quiet we will be. Chorus. From home, home we will be, &c. The rebels from their homes are compelled to go, And stay in the woods where the bushes are thick and low; For if they do go home and there attempt to stay, The Feds will come and force them away. Chorus. Away, away they will be, Away from their homes in their own country. Away from their sweethearts they have to be, And lay in the woods by night and by day, And for fear of Alton penitentiary, Still from their homes they have to be. For if by the Feds they should captured be, They will be carried to the penitentiary, And there be confined in cells dark and low, Away from his home in his own country. But for the sake of still remaining free They had rather sleep neath some wide spreading tree Than to be carried to some distant shore There to be confined till the war will be o'er. Chorus. Then home, home we will return Home, dearest home, for which we did yearn, &c.

Then home soon they will be Home, dearest home to this our country Where the rose is in the bud and the blossom on the tree And the Lark is singing home to North Missouri. We have taken up arms in defense of our farms And if the Federals trouble us we will surely do them harm For we have declared that our land shall be free But if they stay away how quiet we will be.

The rebels from their homes are compelled to go, And stay in the woods where the bushes are thick and low; For if they do go home and there attempt to stay, The Feds will come and force them away. Chorus. Away, away they will be, Away from their homes in their own country. Away from their sweethearts they have to be, And lay in the woods by night and by d

e, Away from my home and away from thee. When the war is over I will return to thee, We will get married if we can agree, And when we are joined in wedlock's happy band, Then we never more will take the parting hand. But if by you I should rejected be, Then my happiness can never completely be, But if my bride you do consent to be, Then we'll live together in love and harmony. Captain Z y K has eighteen in command The Feds do fear him whenever he makes a stand For they do make such a gallant charg The Federals always thinks therr force is large. Chorus. Then away the Feds will be, &c. General Guitar if a fight you do crave Attack co. Z y K & they will send you to your grave For their men are brave and true & all you have to do Is to bring on your force and they will put you through. The girls of Terrapin encourage us to fight, They say by driving the Feds away we'll surely do right, Come out you new militia we'd like to get a whack We will make you run and shoot you in the back.
