[00:09.84] We are coming father Abraham three hundred thousand more
[00:14.87] From Mississippi's winding stream and from new England's shore
[00:19.51] We leave our plows and workshops our wives and children dear
[00:24.10] With hearts too full for utterance with but a silent tear
[00:28.43] We dare not look behind us but steadfastly before
[00:33.44] We are coming father Abraham three hundred thousand more
[00:38.09] We are coming coming our union to restore
[00:43.14] We are coming father Abraham three hundred thousand more
[00:56.38] If you look across the hilltops that meet the northern sky
[01:01.23] Long moving lines of rising dust your vision may descry
[01:05.57] And now the wind an instant tears the cloudy veil aside
[01:10.03] And floats aloft our spangled flag in glory and in pride
[01:14.71] And bayonets in the sunlight gleam and bands brave music pour
[01:19.26] We are coming father Abr'am three hundred thousand more
[01:23.87] We are coming coming our union to restore
[01:28.63] We are coming father Abraham three hundred thousand more
[01:41.67] If you look up all our valleys where the growing harvests shine
[01:46.22] You may see our sturdy farmer boys fast forming into line
[01:50.86] And children not their mother's knees are pulling at the weeds
[01:55.23] And learning how to reap and sow against their country's needs
[01:59.79] And a farewell group stands weeping at every cottage door
[02:04.43] We are coming father Abr'am three hundred thousand more
[02:09.08] We are coming coming our union to restore
[02:13.54] We are coming father Abraham three hundred thousand more
