By Robert Lamb— 51st Georgia Vols. ^^^ Rally round your country's flag ye freemen of tbe Soutb, Gird on your armor for tbe fray, go ye to battle fortb ; Your watchword and your war cry " Deatb before dishonor," Wipe out the tyrant's blot, and defend your country's banner. A million hearts are beating now, a million prayers ascend, That God would bless our country, fair freedom's cause defend, From o'er the stormy water, from the tyrant's dear domain, 1 Where the heart of stern oppression, all the rights of »ian disdain. The cry conies rolling onward, may God preserve the right; Forbid that freedom's sun shall set in dark oblivion's night, ; Inspire the sons of freedom fair, give victory to their arms: May they defend our star of hope, their land from throat'uing harm. Then go forth, yc soldiers brave, fight valiant for your cause, 1 Defending 'gainst a treacherous foe, your land and all its laws; Prove to the world that freemen bold can act a noble part, By hurling back, with all your force, the tyrant's poisonous dart. From the mountains of Old Maryland to Florida's swampy plains, From the Atlantic's rolling waves to Pacific's fair domains, Determine that our flag shall wave, the red, white and red ; The ensign of our liberty, which Yankees hate and dread. 1 Beneath the soil now lieth bones, of those who long ago, Maintained our honor 'gainst the land of our then oppressive foe; Prove to the world their noble blood flows freely in your veins By wiping out, forever out, the tyrant's dismal stains. no Hollinger Corp. pH8.5
