In union is salvation,

God will protect the right.

My Love he is a Zou-zu.

My love is a Zou-zu so gallant and bold,

He’s rough and he’s handsome, scarce nineteen years old,

To show off in Washington, he has left his own dear,

And my heart is a-breaking because he’s not here.

CHORUS.

For his spirit was brave; it was fierce to behold,

In a young man bred a Zou-zu, only nineteen years old.
