Way down in old Varginni, |
[00:08.319] |
I suppose you all do know, |
[00:11.116] |
They have tried to bust the Union |
[00:14.474] |
But they find it is no go, |
[00:17.564] |
The yankee boys are starting out |
[00:20.370] |
De Union for to sabe, |
[00:22.897] |
And we're marching down to Washington, |
[00:26.529] |
To fight for Uncle Abe. |
[00:29.608] |
Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap |
[00:32.125] |
Strap your knapsacks on your back |
[00:34.928] |
For we're a gwine to Washington |
[00:37.444] |
To fight for Uncle Abe. |
[00:44.357] |
There is General Grant at Vicksburg, |
[00:47.151] |
Just see what he has done, |
[00:49.393] |
He has taken sixty cannon |
[00:53.310] |
And made the Rebels run, |
[00:56.106] |
And next he will take Richmond |
[00:58.909] |
I'll bet you half a dollar |
[01:01.149] |
And if he catches Gen'ral Johnson |
[01:04.785] |
Oh wont he make him holler. |
[01:08.145] |
Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap |
[01:10.949] |
Strap your knapsacks on your back |
[01:13.475] |
For we're a gwine to Washington |
[01:15.998] |
To fight for Uncle Abe. |
[01:24.125] |
The season now is coming, |
[01:26.917] |
When the roads begin to dry, |
[01:29.441] |
Soon the army of the Potomac |
[01:33.082] |
Will make the rebels fly, |
[01:35.884] |
For General McClellan he's the man |
[01:38.407] |
The Union for to sabe, |
[01:40.923] |
O! Hail Columbia's right side up, |
[01:44.845] |
And so's your Uncle Abe. |
[01:47.917] |
Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap |
[01:50.710] |
Strap your knapsacks on your back |
[01:52.953] |
For we're a gwine to Washington |
[01:55.755] |
To fight for Uncle Abe. |
[02:04.142] |
You may talk of Southern Chivalry |
[02:06.943] |
And cotton being king, |
[02:09.182] |
But I guess before the war is done |
[02:12.816] |
You'll think another thing, |
[02:15.901] |
They say that recognition |
[02:18.416] |
Will the rebel country sabe, |
[02:20.936] |
But Johnny Bull and Mister France |
[02:24.582] |
Are 'fraid of Uncle Abe. |
[02:27.662] |
Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap |
[02:30.460] |
Strap your knapsacks on your back |
[02:32.970] |
For we're a gwine to Washington |
[02:35.772] |
To fight for Uncle Abe. |
