FREEDOM'S CALL.
No 2.
Spirited. Alla Marcia.
1. As his moun-tain men fol-lowed, un-doubt-ing and bold, O'er hill and o'er desd-ert, through temp-est and cold; So the peo-ple now burst from each fet-ter and thrall, And an-swer with shouting the wild bu-gle call.
2. Oh! speed the bod riders! fling loose ev'ry rein, The race run for free-dom is not run in vain! From mountain and prai-rie, from lake and from se, Ride gal-lant and hopeful, ride fear-less and free!
3. The shades of the fa-thers for free-dom who died, As they rode in the war-storm, ride now at our side; Their great souls shall strengthen our own for the day, And the glance of our lead-er make cer-tain the way.
4. We ride not for hon-ors, am-bi-tion or place, But the wrong to re-dress, and re-deem the disgrace; Not for North or for South, but the best good of all, We fol-low Lincoln and his bu-gle call!
Chorus.
1 Who'll fol-low, who'll follow? The bands gather fast; They who ride with Lincoln In triumph ride at last! Who'll fol-low, who'll fol-low? The bands gather fast; They who ride with Lincoln In triumph ride at last! All who ride with Lincoln In triumph ride at last!
2. Then fol-low, then fol-low, The bands gath-er fast; All who ride with Lincoln In triumph ride at last! Then fol-low, then fol-low, The bands gather fast; All who ride with Lincoln In tri-umph ride at last.
3. Then fol-low, then fol-low, The bands gath-er fast; All who ride with Lincoln In triumph ride at last! Then fol-low, then fol-low, The bands gath-er fast; All who ride with Lincoln In tri-umph ride at last!
4. Who'll fol-low, who'll fol-low! The bands gath-er fast; All who ride with Lincoln In triumph ride at last! Who'll fol-low, who'll fol-low? The bands gath-er fast; All who rid with Lincoln In tri-umph ride at last!
