Lyrics
1. Our flag is proudly floating
On the land and on the main
Shout, shout the battle cry of Freedom
Beneath it oft we’ve conquered
And we’ll conquer oft again
Shout, shout the battle cry of Freedom
Chorus
Our Dixie forever, she’s never at a loss
Down with the eagle and up with the cross
We’ll rally ’round the bonny flag
We’ll rally once again
Shout, shout the battle cry of Freedom
Our gallant boys have marched
To the rolling of the drums
Shout, shout the battle cry of Freedom
And the leaders in charge cry out
“Come, boys, come!”
Shout, shout the battle cry of Freedom
They have laid down their lives
On the bloody battle field
Shout, shout the battle cry of Freedom
Their motto is resistance
“To tyrants we’ll not yield!”
Shout, shout the battle cry of Freedom
While our boys have responded
And to the fields have gone
Shout, shout the battle cry of Freedom
Our noble women also
Have aided them at home
Shout, shout the battle cry of Freedom
