Since first the dirty Southern traitors, this foul Secession War began

When all them treacherous alligators, commenced the row at Charleston

Columbia's flag—the Star of Freedom—still has ruled on land and say

Fools may rave, but never heed them—to bate our foes we know the way

(Chorus)

Whack, fal de ral, da to ra laddie

Whack, fal de ral, da to ra lay

Whack, fal de ral, da to ra laddie

Whack, fal de ral, da to ra lay

Volunteers we have by thousands, generals trusty, true, and brave

For the union they arouse, and all would die our flag to save

Butler down at New Orleans, he kept the rebel host at bay

On them there to draw the reins, he quickly showed he knew the way

(Chorus)

Gallant Meade, a hero truly, at Gettysburg the foe met he;

And there he gave them Ballyhooly—Oh, how are you, General Lee?

Rosecrans, a soldier thorough—that's a fact that none can gainsay

The rebels met at Murfreesboro, to rout them there he knew the way

(Chorus)

Little Sigel, for the Germans, he has bravely stood the test;

Dix and Banks, Burnside and Sherman, all have nobly done their best

General Meagher has shown his mettle, Corcoran too, was in the fray

The foes of Uncle Sam to settle, the Irish boys they know the way

(Chorus)

Then there's General Daniel Sickles, from the field ne'er stirs a peg

The foes catastrophe he tickles—gallant Dan has lost a leg

General Grant he gives them thunder, at Vicksburg he won the day

Then to make the foe knock under, at Chattanooga knew the way

(Chorus)

But to call the list of fame, I haven't room now in my song

For, to go through each General's name, it would keep me singing all night long

But of one more I will be telling, and who should be restored straightway

To put an end to this rebellion—Little Mac, he knows the way

(Chorus)
