Lyrics
Bring out the good old bugle boys;
The nation's call to rally;
Against tyranny make some noise;
Let's run across the alley;
Let us declare upon the charge;
The charter of liberty;
For 'tis indeed with every march;
We bring out the Jubilee;
The Jubilee! We bring out the Jubilee!
The Jubilee! We bring out the Jubilee!
Against liberty and union;
Usurpers e'er stand alone;
Now and forever, 'tis proven;
Planters are but shattered stone;
One and insep'rable in sun;
Free labor is ours to own;
For 'tis indeed with every march;
We bring out the Jubilee;
The Jubilee! We bring out the Jubilee!
The Jubilee! We bring out the Jubilee!
Old
When the nation's call comes to rally the people once again;
We shall march for the declaration upon the plain;
Oh, we'll bring the jub'lee to all the bondsmen of the chain;
As we go marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah;
Glory, glory, glory, hallelujah;
Glory, glory, hallelujah;
As we go marching on.
Against liberty and union, usurpers stand alone;
And now and forever, the slave-ocrats are shattered stone;
But one and insep'rable, free labor is ours to own;
As we go marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah;
Glory, glory, glory, hallelujah;
Glory, glory, hallelujah;
As we go marching on.
Additional lyrics
It was long ago in Boston that our cause saw the light;
We bled and died for the cause of liberty in the night;
But today we count our millions as we girt ourselves to fight;
As we go marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah;
Glory, glory, glory, hallelujah;
Glory, glory, hallelujah;
As we go marching on.
