| Bring the good old bugle, boys, we’ll sing another song
|
| Sing it with a spirit that will start the world along
|
| Sing it as we used to sing it, 50, 000 strong
|
| While we were marching through Georgia.
|
| Hurrah! |
| Hurrah! |
| we bring the jubilee!
|
| Hurrah! |
| Hurrah! |
| the flag that makes you free!
|
| So we sang the from Atlanta to the sea
|
| While we were marching through Georgia.
|
| How the people shouted when they heard the joyful sound
|
| How the turkeys gobbled which our commissary found
|
| How the sweet potatoes even started from the ground
|
| While we were marching through Georgia.
|
| Yes and there were Union men who wept with joyful tears,
|
| When they saw the honored flag they had not seen for years;
|
| Hardly could they be restrained from breaking forth in cheers,
|
| While we were marching through Georgia.
|
| Hurrah! |
| Hurrah! |
| we bring the jubilee!
|
| Hurrah! |
| Hurrah! |
| the flag that makes you free!
|
| So we sang the from Atlanta to the sea
|
| While we were marching through Georgia.
|
| «Sherman's dashing Yankee boys will never reach the coast!»
|
| So the saucy rebels said and 'twas a handsome boast
|
| Had they not forgot, alas! |
| to reckon with the Host
|
| While we were marching through Georgia.
|
| So we made a thoroughfare for freedom and her train,
|
| Sixty miles in latitude, three hundred to the main;
|
| Treason fled before us, for resistance was in vain
|
| While we were marching through Georgia.
|
| Hurrah! |
| Hurrah! |
| we bring the jubilee!
|
| Hurrah! |
| Hurrah! |
| the flag that makes you free!
|
| So we sang the from Atlanta to the sea
|
| While we were marching through Georgia.
|
| Hurrah! |
| Hurrah! |
| we bring the jubilee!
|
| Hurrah! |
| Hurrah! |
| the flag that makes you free!
|
| So we sang the from Atlanta to the sea
|
| While we were marching through Georgia.
|
| While we were marching through Georgia.
|
| While we were marching through Georgia. |
