SECOND VOICE

(That of a young Southern man)

Hang all Yanks to the end of a limb!

One of us equals ten of him!

What’s a Southern man to do

But load his rifle and see this through?

The Yankee Buell is miles away,

While Sherman here on Shiloh creek,

Has no entrenchments, so they say!

Let’s hit the Yanks while they are weak!
