1. 'Twas in
the days of the seventy six,
When Freemen young and
old,
All fought for
Independence then,
Each hero brave and
bold!
'Twas then the noble
Stars and Stripes
In triumph did
appear,
And defended by brave
patriots,
The Yankee
Volunteers. chorus:
'Tis my delight to
march and fight
Like a New York
Volunteer.
2. Now, there's our
City Regiments,
Just see what they have
done:
The first to offer to
the State
To go to
Washington,
To protect the Federal
Capital
And the flag they love
so dear!
And they've done their
duty nobly,
Like New York
Volunteers.
chorus
3. The Rebels out in
Maryland,
They madly raved and
swore,
They's let none of our
Union troups
Pass through
Baltimore;
But the Massachusetts
Regiment,
No traitors did they
fear;
But found their way to
Washington,
Like New York
Volunteers.
