The Army of the Free

In the army of the Union We are marching in the van And will do the work before us If the bravest soldiers can We will drive the Rebel forces From their strongholds to the sea And will live and die together In the army of the free We may rust beneath inaction We may sink beneath disease The summer sun may scorch us Or the winter's blast may freeze But whatever may befall us We will let the rebels see That unconquered we will still remain The army of the free The army of the free The army of the free Unconquered we shall still remain The army of the free We have Butterfield the daring And we've Martindale the cool Where could we learn the art of war Within a better school Add Morel to the list of names And we must all agree We have the finest generals In the army of the free The army of the free The army of the free We have the finest generals In the army of the free Then hurrah for our division May it soon be called to go To add its strength to those who have Advanced to meet the foe God bless it, for we know right well Wherever it may be 'Twill never fail to honor our great Army of the free The army of the free The army of the free 'Twill never fail to honor our great Army of the free
