Up from the valley deeps,
Down from the crags,
Out from the forest-aisles,
Waving our flags--
Marching with warlike tread,
Forward we come,
Sons of America,
Following the drum!
Shouting our battle-cries,
Forward we come,
Sons of America,
Following the drum!
Down from New England hills,
Out from New York,
Over the Jersey plains,
Strong for our work--
From Pennsylvania’s glens,
From Indiana,
Up from the O-hi-o,
Under our banner.
Michigan’s riflemen,
Oregon’s scouts,
Landsmen and mariners,
Mingling their shouts;
Under the Flag of Stars--
Waving still high--
Still for the Union, boys,
Stand we or die!
