The army is gathering from near and from far,
The trumpet is sounding the call for the war,
McClellan's our leader, hes gallant and strong,
We'll gird on our armor and be marching along.
Marching along, we are marching along,
Gird on the armor and be marching along;
McClellan's our leader, hes gallant and strong,
For God and our country we're marching along
The foe is before us in battle array,
But let us not waver, nor turn from the way;
The Lord is our strength, and the Union's our song,
With courage and faith we are marching along.
Marching along, we are marching along,
Gird on the armor and be marching along;
McClellan's our leader, hes gallant and strong,
For God and our country we're marching along
The flag of our country is floating on high,
We'll stand by that flag till we conquer or die;
Our cause is the right one—our foe's in the wrong,
Then gladly we'll sing as were marching along.
Marching along, we are marching along,
Gird on the armor and be marching along;
McClellan's our leader, hes gallant and strong,
For God and our country we're marching along
