[00:23.99] Union Soldiers:
[00:26.52] I remember the first day we fell in for drill
[00:31.21] We were green as a new dollar bill
[00:34.15] I remember your mamma just cried through the night
[00:38.92] When her Charlie-boy left for the fight
[00:41.82] Now the battle is near
[00:43.72] And the moment is here
[00:45.61] It's the Union forever
[00:49.43] When the Blue meets the Gray
[00:51.36] Every rebel will pay
[00:55.32] By the sword
[00:59.19] By the sword
[01:02.95] By the sword
[01:07.48] By the vow we have taken
[01:09.76] Now we awaken
[01:11.35] Our flag flying high; We will live or we'll die
[01:13.17] By the sword
[01:21.16] Confederate Soldiers:
[01:28.52] I can shoot a mounted horseman
[01:30.43] From a half a mile away
[01:32.20] I can take a hill and hold it till
[01:34.14] We meet on judgement day
[01:36.25] I will cut a dashing figure
[01:38.00] I will make the ladies swoon
[01:39.83] I'll be back by fall to kiss 'em all
[01:41.75] If the war don't end too soon
[01:43.78] We'll make 'em all skedaddle
[01:45.57] Long before the cotton's high
[01:47.46] We can whoop 'em in a battle
[01:49.32] Sure 'nough whoop 'em do or die
[01:51.29] When the Sons of Dixie take to the field
[01:55.08] Then the battle is won
[01:56.57] For we never will yield
[01:58.93] When the Sons of Dixie fire their guns
[02:02.74] Then we'll all see how fast
[02:04.20] That a scared Yankee runs
[02:06.46] Union Soldiers:
[02:06.80] When we lick 'em
[02:07.39] We'll get home before the first snow
[02:11.23] With a chest full of medals to show
[02:14.11] When we lick 'em
[02:14.94] There'll be one hellacious parade
[02:18.68] Yeah, and maybe by then we'll get paid!
[02:21.78] All for one, one for all
[02:23.66] So let's open the ball
[02:25.55] It's the union forever
[02:29.38] By the angels above
[02:31.31] By all that we love
[02:35.39] By the sword
[02:39.08] By the sword
[02:42.98] By the sword
[02:47.32] We will march through the fire
[02:49.26] We'll climb ever higher
[02:51.26] By the dawn's early light
[02:52.16] We will stand up and fight
[02:53.21] By the sword
[02:57.00] Confederate Soldiers:
[02:57.15] I won't let no damn Yankee
[02:58.76] Tell me how I'm gonna live
[03:00.83] I will not forget and you can bet
[03:02.84] I ain't tendin' to forgive
[03:04.53] So let's polish up our muskets
[03:06.51] And give the rebel yell
[03:08.57] We'll chase 'em back to Washington
[03:10.35] Or send 'em all to hell
[03:12.23] We'll send 'em all a' runnin'
[03:14.12] From the warm Virginia sun
[03:16.02] So let 'em come a' gunnin'
[03:17.92] And we'll show 'em how it's done
[03:19.92] When the Sons of Dixie take to the field
[03:23.63] Then the battle is won
[03:25.09] For we never will yield
[03:27.50] When the Sons of Dixie fire their guns
[03:31.26] Then we'll all see how fast
[03:32.77] That a scared Yankee runs
[03:34.75] All:
[03:35.22] Now the battle is near
[03:36.99] And the moment is here
[03:38.88] It's the Union (old/Dixie) forever
[03:44.61] When the Blue meets the Gray
[03:46.50] Every (Rebel/Yankee) will pay
[03:51.26] When the Sons of Dixie take to the field
[03:54.37] (By the sword)
[03:55.29] Then the battle is won
[03:56.87] For we never will yield
[03:58.21] (By the sword)
[03:59.09] When the Sons of Dixie fire their guns
[04:02.05] (By the sword)
[04:02.84] Then we'll all see how fast
[04:04.20] That a scared Yankee runs
[04:06.68] With our flag flying high
[04:08.49] We will live or we'll die
[04:12.44] By the sword
