Lyrics
[QUARTET]
They are coming from the North, they are coming from the West,
Where the mighty river flows,
From New England’s hallowed soil,
Where our Pilgrim Fathers rest,
And the Star of Freedom rolls.
FULL CHORUS [sung after each verse]
There’s a sound among the forest trees, away, boys,
Away to the battle field, Hurrah!
Quick to duty, “Up and at them,” once again, boys,
Hurrah for our Volunteers.
[QUARTET]
Let the traitor foe advance, and the cannon loudly roar,
With a peal as wild and shrill, Hurrah!
In the cause of Truth and Right we will brave him as before,
For our souls are dauntless still.
[QUARTET]
Then our banner to the breeze, we shall triumph, never fear,
And our bark ride proudly still, Hurrah!
Like the noble sires who bled for the gem we hold so dear,
On the field of Bunker Hill
