Here's the health to Duke and Morgan,
     Drink it down;
Here's the health to Duke and Morgan,
     Drink it down;
Here's the health to Duke and Morgan,
     Down, boys, down, drink it down.

To this ovation General Morgan, hat in hand, smilingly bowed his acknowledgement and appreciation. When Colonel Duke, with flashing eye and flowing plume, appeared there were more cheers and another song, ‘My Old Kentucky Home.’ When the bugles again sounded the cavaliers, two thousand four hundred and sixty effective men,

With all their banners bravely spread,
And all their armor flashing high,

moved from Alexandria, Tenn., June 11, 1863, toward the Cumberland River.

Richmond, VA. 1907.
