The Battle Hymn of the 62^nd

(Tune of “When Johnny comes marching home again”)

We’re marching out of New York Town,

Hurrah, Hurrah

We’re marching out of New York Town

Hurrah, Hurrah

We’re marching out of New York Town

To shoot the Dixie Rebels down

The suits are blue, the horses brown

Bobby we’ll come and beat you.

With jackets blue and trousers red

Hurrah, Hurrah

With jackets blue and trousers red

Hurrah, Hurrah

With jackets blue and trousers red

We’ll fight the Dixies to their dead

With bajonett’s steel and bullet’s led

Bobby we’ll come and beat you

We kicked your arse in Gettysburg

Hurrah, Hurrah

We kicked your arse in Gettysburg

Hurrah, Hurrah

We kicked your arse in Gettysburg

We kicked so hart it must have hurt

Your face was lying in the dirt

Bobby we’ll come and beat you.

We drink good wine, we drink strong beers

Hurrah, Hurrah

We drink good wine, we drink strong beers

Hurrah, Hurrah

We drink good wine, we drink strong beers

We’re the sixty-second Volunteers

We shared blood, sweat and even tears

Bobby we’ll come and beat you
