Following the Drum.Air—Over the Mountain.Up from the valley deeps,Down from the crags,Out from the forest-aisles,Waving our flags—Marching with warlike tread,Forward we come,Sons of America,Following the drum!Shouting our battle-cries,Forward we come,Sons of America,Following the drum!Down from New England hills,Out from New York,Over the Jersey plains,Strong for our work—From Pennsylvania’s glens,From Indiana,Up from the O-hi-o,Under our banner.Michigan’s riflemen,Oregon’s scouts,Landsmen and mariners,Mingling their shouts;Under the Flag of Stars—Waving still high—Still for the Union, boys,Stand we or die!
