Lyrics
It’s the roar and rattle of Freedom’s battle
That’s calling us over the sea
Where a mighty foe has challenged us, boys
It’s up to you and me
So get Old Glory, we’ll make ’em sorry
That they ever dreamed of this fight
We’re on our way with a Hip! Hooray!
Just to do what we know to be right
Refrain:
So here’s to Uncle Sammy, faithful and true
Here’s to our banner of red, white and blue
And here’s to all good fellows on land and sea
Singing the Battle Song of Liberty
