  Republicans, list to the shouting Of armies of freemen afar; They come from each valley and mountain, To gather their ranks for the war; That shout is the watch-word of freemen, Their banner is borne by the brave; On its folds behold Lincoln and Hamlin, The Union—they’re able to save. Huzza, then, for Lincoln and Hamlin, Let the Banner of Liberty wave; With Lincoln and Hamlin, our bosoms Will beat to the march of the brave. Come North and come South all together, If shoulder to shoulder we stand, The Flag of our Country forever Will wave o’er our prosperous land; No foreign aggressor can fright us, Our colors still proudly shall wave; With Lincoln and Hamlin to lead us, We’ll stand by the Flag of the Brave. Huzza, then, etc. Away, then, ye carpers and croakers, Away with your snarling and spite; The bright sun of Freedom is rising, Illuming political night. In the East see its radiance glowing And gilding the earth with its rays; See Falsehood and Ignorance flying Like owls from its glorious blaze. Huzza, then, etc. |
