Lyrics

Draw the cannons, boys;
Raise the flag,
Time to meet the rebel stand

Now we find our winter home,
In the land of blood and bone.

Every man will pay the price,
Send my love and calm my wife

Death and glory wait for none,
This here battle’s just begun.

Fathers and brothers, we bleed just the same
Stand by each other, and burn in the flames,
This is our judgment day

Fight for freedom, boys,
One and all,
We won’t watch this union fall.

Grant and Lincoln tell us why,
Pledge our honor, side by side

Some have only just arrived,
In the boats at Ellis Isle

Shaking, hungry, tired, poor,
With fear living in their core

Fathers and brothers, we bleed just the same
Stand by each other, and burn in the flames,
This is our judgment day
