Lyrics

[00:19.383] In the army of the Union
[00:21.204] We are marching in the van
[00:23.211] And will do the work before us
[00:25.077] If the bravest soldiers can;
[00:26.993] We will drive the Rebel forces
[00:28.812] From their strongholds to the sea
[00:30.722] And will live and die together
[00:32.686] In the Army of the Free
[00:34.691] The Army of the Free
[00:36.698] The Army of the Free
[00:38.563] We will live and die together
[00:40.190] In the Army of the Free
[00:42.276] Yes we are the best division of
[00:44.243] A half a million souls
[00:46.014] And only resting on our arms
[00:47.742] Till the war cry onward rolls;
[00:49.744] When our gallant General Porter calls
[00:51.707] Why ready we shall be
[00:53.807] To follow him forever
[00:55.463] With the Army of the Free
[00:57.463] The Army of the Free
[00:59.470] The Army of the Free
[01:01.569] We will follow him forever
[01:03.283] With the Army of the Free
[01:20.380] Though we live in winter quarters now
[01:22.443] We're waiting but the hour
[01:24.310] When Porter's brave division
[01:26.035] Shall go forth in all its power
[01:27.946] And when on the field of battle
[01:29.946] Fighting we shall be
[01:31.860] We'll show that we cannot disgrace
[01:34.053] The Army of the Free
[01:35.689] The Army of the Free
[01:37.506] The Army of the Free
[01:39.699] We'll show that we cannot disgrace
[01:41.521] The Army of the Free
[01:43.298] Then hurrah for our division
[01:45.026] May it soon be called to go
[01:47.031] To add its strength to those who have
[01:49.226] Advanced to meet the foe;
[01:50.952] God bless it, for we know right well
[01:52.767] Wherever it may be
[01:54.681] 'Twill never fail to honor our great
[01:57.107] Army of the Free
[01:58.645] The Army of the Free
[02:00.375] The Army of the Free
[02:02.524] 'Twill never fail to honor our great
[02:04.958] Army of the Free
