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 |
