“ On the banks of the Potomac, there’s an army so grand,
Whose object’s to subjugate Dixie’s fair land;
They say that we’ve split this great Union in two,
And altered the colors of Red, White and Blue.
CHORUS.
Huzzah! Huzzah! we’re a nation that’s true
And we’ll stand by our colors of Red, White and Blue.
Our banner is simple, and by it we’ll stand,
It floats from the Potomac to the great Rio Grande:
It waves o’er a people that’s gallant and true,
And they’ll die defending the Red, White and Blue. ”

“ Air—“Root Hog or Die.”
By J. S. Prevatt, Company E, 6th Ga. Regiment.
Now listen to a story that I’m going to relate,
It happened near by Richmond in the Old Dominion State;
’Twas a stampede of the Yankees down the Chickahomi-ny,
Big Yank, little Yank, root Yank or die.
Chorus.
McClellan, Seward and Greeley with all their Yankee cunning,
Will never live to wipe us out, we’re not the stock for running,
And I’ll tell you the reason why,
Dixie will be Dixie, root hog or die. ”

“ Yes, when they first got them, they made great ado,
But now they curse England, and Red, White and Blue.
Huzzah! Huzzah! &c.
They’ll never subdue us, as you all will see,
While we’ve Davis, Bragg, Beauregard, Johnson, and Lee ”
