Uncle Sam's Boys

UNCLE SAM'S BOYS.

Words by S. FILLMORE BENNETT.

Music by J.P. WEBSTER.

With Energy and Firmness

1. Who are the heroes that dare the cannon's thunder? Who are the brave hearts that face its iron hail? Marching to victory legions without number, Ranks true and steady and souls that never quail!

2. Onward they came when their country's peril called them; Shouting they rushed from the hillside and the cot, Woodland and prairie sent forth its sturdy foemen, Waving above them the shining battle-blade.

3. See, from the busy mart, men of ev'ry labor, See, from the workshop, the hamlet and the cot, Marshall a million trusty heart and saber; Daring to die, but dishonor daring not!

4. Scathless, the Unions hell's storm of hate shall weather; Fear not the shock in the van our colors fly! Hail to the stars and the holy stripes forever! Uncle Sam's boys fight to conquer or die.

Chorus.

Uncle Sam's boys, hip, hip, hurrah!

Uncle Sam's boys, hip, hip, hurrah!----

Uncle Sam's boys, hurrah! hurrah! Uncle Sam's boys, Uncle Sam's boys hurrah! hurrah!

Falter! they were never known to,

Uncle Sam's boys Will die, or rebellion they will quell.

But, united, they are sworn to die, or rebellion they will quell.
