Lyrics

[00:24.362] There are many brave men in the
[00:25.974] Southern land who have hurried away to the field,
[00:29.180] Who have sworn to defend us or die in the
[00:31.314] Cause 'ere our independence they'll yield.
[00:34.004] I hear their war cry sounding, sounding deep over mountain and glen,
[00:38.814] Their light springing footsteps are trampling
[00:40.939] The hill, 'tis the march of the Southern men,
[00:43.389] 'Tis the march, 'tis the march, 'tis the march of the Southern men.
[01:12.606] How bravely they move under fire 'tho
[01:14.477] They know their kindred they n'er may see more,
[01:17.403] And cheerfully follow their Chief to the
[01:19.568] Field where they've gathered their laurels before.
[01:22.259] I hear their war cry sounding, sounding deep over mountain and glen,
[01:27.097] Behold their battalions are charging
[01:28.958] Again, 'tis the march of the Southern men,
[01:31.611] 'Tis the march, 'tis the march, 'tis the march of the Southern men.
[02:00.748] God's blessing be with them will
[02:02.078] Still be the cry of every Patriot heart,
[02:05.777] And to them a victory always be
[02:07.666] Given and n'er from their banners depart.
[02:10.581] I hear their war cries sounding, sounding deep over mountain and glen,
[02:15.148] Their bright gleaming bayonets have carried
[02:17.240] The hill, 'tis the march of the Southern men,
[02:19.657] 'Tis the march, 'tis the march, 'tis the march of the Southern men.
