hold the fort

we meet to die in freedoms cause

and raise our voices high

we'll join our hands in union strong

to battle or to die

hold the fort

for we are coming

union men be strong

side by side keep pressing onward

victory will come

look my comrades

see the union banner waving high

reinforcements now appearing

victory is nigh

hold the fort

for we are coming

union men be strong

side by side keep pressing onward

victory will come

see our numbers still increasing

hear the bugles blow

by our union we shall triumph

over every foe

hold the fort

for we are coming

union men be strong

side by side keep pressing onward

victory will come

fierce and long

the battle rages

but we do not fear

help will come whenever it's needed

cheer my comrades cheer

hold the fort

for we are coming

union men be strong

side by side keep pressing onward

victory will come
