The name of the illustrious Jackson should have a place
In the history of heroes on the brightest page,
He was a born commander and leader of men,
A terror to his enemies—a beacon light to his friends.
On the march or in battle he moved without fear
Of the world’s greatest generals he was a peer;
His artful maneuvering and quick movements did save
The live of many a soldier brave.
Passing down the line soldiers always could tell
That Jackson was coming by the Rebel yell;
