[00:16]We're the boys so gay and happy,
[00:19]Where so 'er we chance to be.
[00:23.600]If at home, or on camp duty,
[00:27.800]'Tis the same, we're always free.
[00:31]We left our homes and those we cherish,
[00:35.250]In our own dear Texas land
[00:39]We had rather fight and perish,
[00:43]Side by side, and hand in hand.
[00:47]Then let the Yanks say what they will;
[00:51]We'll be gay and happy still.
[00:54.650]Gay and happy, Gay and happy
[00:58.450]We'll be gay and happy still.
[01:17.800]Old Virginia needs assistance,
[01:21.350]Northern hosts invade her soil.
[01:25.350]We'll provide a firm resistance,
[01:29]Courting danger, fire and toil.
[01:33]Then let the guns and muskets rival;
[01:37]Fill the sides of name we born.
[01:40.900]We'll leave the fear of battle,
[01:44.750]While the Yanks on our soil.
[01:48]Then let the Yanks say what they will;
[01:52.150]We'll be gay and happy still.
[01:56]Gay and happy, Gay and happy
[02:00]We'll be gay and happy still.
