So let the Southerners do as they will,
We will fight for the Union still!
Fight for the Union!
Fight for the Union!
We will fight for the Union still!
Though Revolution, dark as night,
Enshrouds the Banner of the Free,
There are none so base that will not fight
For this great land of Liberty!
The traitors would the Union sever
Our fathers worked so hard to form;
Yet we are for the Union ever,
Through sunshine, peace, or storm!
Then hear! Oh hear! our country’s call,
Raise our glorious banner high;
Come, rally! rally! one and all!
To save the Union or to die!
