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