Tennessee Ernie Ford The Army Of The Free
In the army of the Union we are marching in the van,
And will do the work before us, if the bravest soldiers
can;
We will drive the Rebel forces from their strongholds
to the sea,
And will live and die together in the Army of the Free.
We may rust beneath inaction, we may sink beneath
disease,
The summer sun may scorch us or the winter's blasts may
freeze,
But whatever may befall us, we will let the Rebels see,
That unconquered we shall still remain the Army of the
Free.
(Chorus)
The Army of the Free, in the Army of the Free,
That unconquered we shall still remain the Army of the
Free.
We have Butterfield the daring and we've Martindale the
cool,
Where could we learn the art of war within a better
school;
Add Morell to the list of names and we must all agree,
We have the finest Generals in the Army of the Free.
(Chorus)
The Army of the Free, in the Army of the Free,
We have the finest Generals in the Army of the Free.
Then hurrah for our Division, may it soon be called to
go,
To add its strength to those who have advanced to meet
the foe;
God bless it, for we know right well, wherever it may
be,
'Twill never fail to honor our great Army of the Free.
(Chorus)
The Army of the Free, in the Army of the Free,
'Twill never fail to honor our great Army of the Free.
