And bids Oppression cease its reign—Hurrah!
Forever cease its reign.
Unconquerable as the waves—Hurrah!
We’ll bury all the fed’ral knaves—Hurrah!
With “Honest Abe” to lead the van,
Bushwackers, stop us if you can—Hurrah!
Three hearty cheers, boys, for our cause—Hurrah!
Three for the Union and the Laws—Hurrah!
Now forward! and the day is won,
