1. Six Hundred Thousand is the cry, Come ral - ly to the call; For Abra'am says he must have them, Or else the Union'll fall! Then surely boys you'll onward march To meet the re - bel band- Six Hundred Thousand is the cry Throughout our na - tive land.
Chorus.
Six Hundred Thousand is the cry Throughout our na - tive land, Six Hundred Thousand is the cry Throughout our na - tive land.
2. Come forth ye brave and gallant men! And ne-ver backward be! Fill up the ranks, and meet the foes Of Peace and Lib - er - ty. Then sure-ly boys you'll onward march To meet thr re - bel band- Six Hundred Thousand is the cry Throughout our native land.
3. Come from the work-shop and the plough, Co-lum-bia's no-ble sons! And buc-kle on your ar-mour boys, And bring a-long your guns. Then sure-ly boys you'll onward march To meet the re-bel band- Six Hundred Thousand is the cry Throughout our native land.
4. Then down to Dix-ie we will march To strike the fi-nal blow! And there with firm and stea-dy aim We'll lay the traitors low. Then sure-ly boys you'll onward march To meet the re=-bel band- Six Hundred Thousand is the cry Throughout our native land.
5. We'll swear to plant our glo-rious flag On Richmond's soil a-gain! Or ev-ery one a-mong our ranks Shall num-ber with the slain! Then sure-ly boys you'll onward march To meet the re-bel band- Six Hundred Thousand is the cry Throughout our native land.
