Lyrics

[00:08.500] In the army of the Union
[00:10.500] we are marching in the van
[00:13.100] And will do the work before us
[00:15.000] if the bravest soldiers can
[00:17.400] We will drive the Rebel forces
[00:19.400] from their strongholds to the sea
[00:22.000] And will live and die together
[00:24.100] in the Army of the Free
[00:30.800] We may rust beneath inaction
[00:32.800] we may sink beneath disease
[00:35.200] The summer sun may scorch us
[00:37.400] or the winter's blast may freeze
[00:39.500] But whatever may befall us
[00:41.400] we will let the Rebels see
[00:43.700] That unconquered we will still remain the Army of the Free
[00:48.000] The Army of the Free
[00:50.000] In the Army of the Free
[00:52.500] Unconquered we shall still remain The Army of the Free
[01:03.000] We have Butterfield the daring
[01:05.100] and we've Martindale the cool
[01:07.800] Where could we learn the art of war
[01:10.100] within a better school
[01:11.900] Add Morel to the list of names
[01:14.300] and we must all agree
[01:16.200] We have the finest Generals
[01:18.100] in the Army of the Free
[01:20.400] The Army of the Free
[01:22.600] In the Army of the Free
[01:24.800] We have the finest Generals
[01:27.200] In the Army of the Free
[01:33.800] Then hurrah for our division
[01:35.700] may it soon be called to go
[01:38.150] To add its strength to those who haveadvanced to meet the foe
[01:42.800] God bless it, for we know right well wherever it may be
[01:47.300] 'Twill never fail to honor our great Army of the Free
[01:51.500] The Army of the Free
[01:53.700] In the Army of the Free
[01:56.000] 'Twill never fail to honor our greatArmy of the Free
