Bring the good old bugle, boys,
We'll sing another song,
Sing it with a spirit that will
Start the world along;
Sing it as we used to sing it
Fifty thousand strong,
While we were marching thro' Georgia.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We bring the Jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus
From Atlanta to the sea,
While we were marching thro' Georgia.
How the people shouted
When they heard the joyful sound,
How the turkeys gobbled
Which our commisary found!
How the sweet potatoes
Even started from the ground,
While we were marching thro' Georgia.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We bring the Jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus
From Atlanta to the sea,
While we were marching thro' Georgia.
We'll sing another song,
Sing it with a spirit that will
Start the world along;
Sing it as we used to sing it
Fifty thousand strong,
While we were marching thro' Georgia.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We bring the Jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus
From Atlanta to the sea,
While we were marching thro' Georgia.
How the people shouted
When they heard the joyful sound,
How the turkeys gobbled
Which our commisary found!
How the sweet potatoes
Even started from the ground,
While we were marching thro' Georgia.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We bring the Jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus
From Atlanta to the sea,
While we were marching thro' Georgia.
