[00:19.000] 'Twas in the days of seventy-six
[00:21.300] When freemen young and old
[00:24.500] All fought for Independence then
[00:26.000] Each hero brave and bold!
[00:28.200] 'Twas then the noble Stars and Stripes In triumph did appear
[00:32.000] And defended by brave patriots
[00:34.400] The Yankee Volunteers
[00:37.000] 'Tis my delight to march and fight
[00:40.000] Like a New York Volunteer!
[00:44.000] New York Volunteer!
[00:55.000] Now, there's our City Regiments
[00:57.800] Just see what they have done:
[00:59.700] The first to offer to the State
[01:02.000] To go to Washington
[01:04.000] To protect the Federal Capital
[01:06.000] And the flag they love so dear!
[01:08.800] And they've done their duty nobly,
[01:11.100] Like New York Volunteers!
[01:13.000] 'Tis my delight to march and fight
[01:15.500] Like a New York Volunteer!
[01:19.800] New York Volunteer!
[01:31.000] The Rebels out in Maryland
[01:33.400] They madly raved and swore,
[01:35.800] They'd let none of our Union troops
[01:38.000] Pass through Baltimore
[01:40.000] But the Massachusetts Regiment
[01:42.000] No traitors did they fear
[01:44.000] But fought their way to Washington
[01:47.000] Like Yankee Volunteers!
[01:49.000] Tis my delight to march and fight
[01:51.000] Like a New York Volunteer!
[01:55.000] New York Volunteer!
