Way down in old Varginni, |
| [00:08.319] |
I suppose you all do know, |
| [00:11.116] |
They have tried to bust the Union |
| [00:14.474] |
But they find it is no go, |
| [00:17.564] |
The yankee boys are starting out |
| [00:20.370] |
De Union for to sabe, |
| [00:22.897] |
And we're marching down to Washington, |
| [00:26.529] |
To fight for Uncle Abe. |
| [00:29.608] |
Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap |
| [00:32.125] |
Strap your knapsacks on your back |
| [00:34.928] |
For we're a gwine to Washington |
| [00:37.444] |
To fight for Uncle Abe. |
| [00:44.357] |
There is General Grant at Vicksburg, |
| [00:47.151] |
Just see what he has done, |
| [00:49.393] |
He has taken sixty cannon |
| [00:53.310] |
And made the Rebels run, |
| [00:56.106] |
And next he will take Richmond |
| [00:58.909] |
I'll bet you half a dollar |
| [01:01.149] |
And if he catches Gen'ral Johnson |
| [01:04.785] |
Oh wont he make him holler. |
| [01:08.145] |
Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap |
| [01:10.949] |
Strap your knapsacks on your back |
| [01:13.475] |
For we're a gwine to Washington |
| [01:15.998] |
To fight for Uncle Abe. |
| [01:24.125] |
The season now is coming, |
| [01:26.917] |
When the roads begin to dry, |
| [01:29.441] |
Soon the army of the Potomac |
| [01:33.082] |
Will make the rebels fly, |
| [01:35.884] |
For General McClellan he's the man |
| [01:38.407] |
The Union for to sabe, |
| [01:40.923] |
O! Hail Columbia's right side up, |
| [01:44.845] |
And so's your Uncle Abe. |
| [01:47.917] |
Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap |
| [01:50.710] |
Strap your knapsacks on your back |
| [01:52.953] |
For we're a gwine to Washington |
| [01:55.755] |
To fight for Uncle Abe. |
| [02:04.142] |
You may talk of Southern Chivalry |
| [02:06.943] |
And cotton being king, |
| [02:09.182] |
But I guess before the war is done |
| [02:12.816] |
You'll think another thing, |
| [02:15.901] |
They say that recognition |
| [02:18.416] |
Will the rebel country sabe, |
| [02:20.936] |
But Johnny Bull and Mister France |
| [02:24.582] |
Are 'fraid of Uncle Abe. |
| [02:27.662] |
Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap |
| [02:30.460] |
Strap your knapsacks on your back |
| [02:32.970] |
For we're a gwine to Washington |
| [02:35.772] |
To fight for Uncle Abe. |
