 » ■> — -»-» 
 
 We have come from the brave Southwest, 
 On fiery steeds, with throbbing breast. 
 
 Hurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah in Dixie's land ! 
 With sabre flashing, rifle true, 
 The Northern ranks we will cut through ! 
 
 Then hurrah for old Virginia ! 
 We'll fight for old Virginia boys! 
 We'll die for old Virginia boys ! 
 Hurrah for old Virginia! 
 
 We've, come from the snow clad-mountains, 
 And the land of the purest fountains, 
 
 Hurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah in Dixie's land ! 
 Our sweethearts and our wives conjure us, 
 Not to leave a foe before us ! 
 
 Then hurrah for old Virginia, &c. 
 
 Our silken banner waves on high, 
 And we will fight and win or die ; 
 
 Hurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah in Dixie's land! 
 Our gray-haired sires sternly say, 
 That we mnst die or win the day ! 
 
 Then hurrah for old Virginia, &c. 
 
 On the 21st, 'twixt sun and sun, 
 We made the boasting Yankees run, 
 
 Hurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah in Dixie's land ! 
 I tell you it was glorious fun, 
 To see their rout toward Arlington ! 
 
 Then hurrah for old Virginia, &c. 
 
 And now we'll march on Washington, 
 With Louisiana's gallant son, 
 
 Hurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah in Dixie's land ! 
 And drive old Abe with all his band 
 Beyond the bounds of Maryland!
