“ The Southern land ’s a glorious land,
And her’s a glorious cause—
Then here ’s three cheers for Southern rights,
And for the Southern boys.
We’ve sent our sweethearts to the war,
But, dear girls, never mind,
Your soldier loves will ne’er forget
The girls they left behind.
Hurrah! hurrah! for the sunny South, so dear,
Three cheers for the sword and plume, that Southern soldiers wear.
A soldier lad is the lad for me,
A brave heart I adore,
And when the sunny South is free,
And fighting is no more,
I ’ll choose me then a lover brave,
From out that gallant band ”

“ The solider lad I love the best
Shall have my heart and hand.
Hurrah! hurrah! &c.
And now, young men, a word to you;
If you would win the fair,
Go to the field where honor calls,
And win your lady there. ”
