Original Lyrics

Yes we’ll rally round the flag
boys, we’ll rally once again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom
We will rally from the hillside
we’ll gather from the plain
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

The Union forever! Hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitor, up with the star
While we rally round the flag
boys, rally once again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

We are springing to the call
with a million freemen more
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And we’ll fill our vacant ranks
of our brothers gone before
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

We will welcome to our numbers
the loyal, true and brave
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And although he may be poor
not a man shall be a slave
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

So we’re springing to the call from the East and from the West
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And we’ll hurl the rebel crew from the land we love best
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥
