Sojourner Truth,
The Valiant Soldiers
“ We are fighting for the Union, we are fighting for the law; We can shoot a rebel farther than a white man ever saw, As we go marching on. Chorus.-- Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah, as we go marching on. Look there above the center, where the flag is waving bright; We are going out of slavery, we are bound for freedom's light; We mean to show Jeff Davis how the Africans can fight, As we go marching on.--Chorus. We are done with hoeing cotton, we are done with hoeing corn; We are colored Yankee soldiers as sure as you are born. ”
