The Battle Cry of Freedom

 

Lyrics (slightly modified):

Oh we'll rally round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again,

Shouting the battle cry of freedom,

And we'll rally from the hillside, we'll gather from the plain,

Shouting the battle cry of freedom.

(Chorus)

Freedom forever, our foremothers' belief

Down with the mandates, up the maple leaf 

While we rally round the flag, boys, we rally once again,

Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

Oh we're springing to the call for three hundred thousand more 

Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

And we'll fill the vacant ranks with a million freemen more 

Shouting the battle cry of freedom.

(Chorus)

We will welcome to our numbers the loyal, true and brave,

Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

And although he may be poor, he shall never be a slave. 

Shouting the battle cry of freedom!

(Chorus)

So we're springing to the call from the East and from the West,

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom;

And we'll hurl the tyrant crew from the land we love the best,

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
