[00:07.593] Come all you loyal unionists wherever you may be
[00:13.264] I hope you'll pay attention and listen unto me
[00:18.716] For well you know the blood and woe, the misery and toil
[00:24.750] It took to down secession on Virginia's bloody soil
[00:31.287] When our good old flag, the Stars and Stripes, from Sumter's walls was hurled
[00:37.444] And o'erhead on the forwardest walls the Rebels their flag unfurled
[00:44.106] It aroused each loyal northern man and caused his blood to boil
[00:50.122] For to see that flag, Secession's rag float o'er Virginia's soil
[01:03.749] Then from the hills and mountain tops there came that wild alarm
[01:10.237] Rise up! Ye gallant sons of North, our country calls to arms
[01:16.764] Come from the plains o'er hill and dale, ye hardy sons of toil
[01:22.729] For our flag is trampled in the dust on Virginia's bloody soil
[01:29.815] And thousands left their native homes, some never to return
[01:36.494] And many's the wife and family dear were left behind to mourn
[01:42.794] There was one who went among them who from danger would ne'er recoil
[01:49.252] Now his bones lie bleaching on the fields of Virginia's bloody soil
[02:02.338] In the great fight of the Wilderness, where many brave man fell
[02:08.953] Our captain led his comrades on through Rebel shot and shell
[02:14.995] The wounded 'round they strewed the ground; the dead lay heaped in piled
[02:21.486] The comrades weltered in their blood on Virginia's bloody soil
[02:28.253] The Rebels fought like fury or tigers drove to bay
[02:34.549] They knew full well, if the truth they'd tell, they could not win the day
[02:40.400] It was hand to hand they fought 'em the struggle was fierce and wild
[02:46.742] 'Till a bullet pierced our captain's brain, on Virginia's bloody soil
[03:01.354] And now our hero's sleeping there with thousands of the brave
[03:08.213] No marble slab does mark the place that shows where he was laid
[03:14.233] He died to save our Union; he's free from care and toil
[03:20.623] Thank God! The Stars and Stripes still wave above Virginia's soil!
