Illustrated five verse song and chorus sung to the tune of "Gay and Happy," praising Major General George McClellan's service to the Union and his farewell address to the Army of the Potomac in November 1862. The song sheet also quotes Major General Ambrose Burnside's complimentary remarks about McClellan after Burnside's assumption of command of the Army of the Potomac.
