Lyrics

[00:35.990] Cheer, boys, cheer! We'll march away to battle!
[00:39.728] Cheer, boys, cheer, for our sweethearts and our wives!
[00:43.175] Cheer, boys, cheer! We'll nobly do our duty,
[00:46.614] And give to the South our hearts, our arms, our lives.
[00:50.348] Bring forth the flag, our country's noble standard;
[00:53.791] Wave it on high till the wind shakes each fold out.
[00:57.517] Proudly it floats, nobly waving in the vanguard;
[01:00.681] Then cheer, boys, cheer! with a lusty, long, bold shout.
[01:04.414] Cheer, boys, cheer! We'll march away to battle!
[01:08.143] Cheer, boys, cheer, for our sweethearts and our wives!
[01:11.877] Cheer, boys, cheer! We'll nobly do our duty,
[01:14.991] And give to the South our hearts, our arms, our lives.
[01:19.006] But as we march, with heads all lowly bending,
[01:22.166] Let us implore a blessing from on high.
[01:25.893] Our cause is just, the right we're defending,
[01:29.304] And the God of battle will listen to our cry.
[01:33.026] Cheer, boys, cheer! We'll march away to battle!
[01:36.757] Cheer, boys, cheer, for our sweethearts and our wives!
[01:40.201] Cheer, boys, cheer! We'll nobly do our duty,
[01:43.641] And give to the South our hearts, our arms, our lives.
