"Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the Ju-bi-lee! Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free!"

So we sang the chorus from At-lan-ta to the sea, While we were marcbing thro' Georgia.

2. How the darkeys shouted when they heard the joyful sound!
How the turkeys gobbled which our Commissary found;
How the sweet-potatoes, even started from the ground,

While we were marching through Georgia.

3. Yes, and there were Union men who wept with joyful tears,
When they saw the honor'd flag they had not seen for years;
Hardly could they be restrained from breaking forth in cheers,
While we were marching through Georgia.

4. "Sherman's dashing yankee boys will never reach the coast!"
So the saucy rebels said, and 'twas a handsome boast,
Had they not forgot, alas! to reckon with the host,
While we were marching through Georgia,
5. So we made a thorough-fare for Freedom and her train,
Sixty miles in latitude--three hundred to the main;
Treason fled before us, for resistance was in vain,
While we were marching through Georgia,

By hundred thousands forth they stream, Their eyes like flashing light'ning gleam,The
To heav'n they raised their gleaming eyes. The heroes saw them from their skies, And
Loud rings the oath, the wa-ters flow, In the free breeze the banners blow; The
