[Fumished to u by Charles Bkooke, Co. K, 6th Michigan Cavalry, nnd procaieil by our picket from a r?bel F. $. V. lady.- Ed. Ahuuf.] On the banks of the Potoniac there's au arniy so gniiiíl, Whoso object 9 to subj ugate pixie's fair land ; They say we ha?e split this great Union in two, And altered the colore of the red white and blue. Chorus - Huzza ! Hiizza ! we're a nation they dread, Thiee cheers for Jeff. Davis the red white and red ; Iluzza! Huzza I we're a uation tliat's trun, Ye'JJ stand by Jeíl. Davia and Beauregai d too. Our basilar is single but by it we'll stand, It fioats from the Potoiuac t the great Rio Grande; It wave.s o'er a people that gallant and true, And we'll all die a fighting the reii white and blue. Chorus - We liad a nice figlit on the twelfth of last June, Magruder at Greot Bethel whipped out Picayune. They conimenced in the morning and fought unlil two, When down íell the glory of the red white and bluo. Chorus - On the twenty-flrst day of last July, A trip down to Richmoiid the Yauks thought lo tiy ; But when they overtook us how little they knew, That the Kebels would fight the red white and Qfee. CAoru- On the plains of Manassas the Yankees we met, We gave them a whipping they will never forget ; When back to their gunboats the Yankees all flew, With their Union banner all severed in two. CAofuj - fhe Yankees p-ijl uerer whip us and that you all set' As long as we have our o"n gallant Lee; And Uien comes Magruder and Jaekson so true, And we'U ij.ll die fighting the red white and blue. Choru- ff ypu jyanl to h?ar Greeiey and Yankee men swear, Just meniion the Mason and Slidell affair ; When they first got them they thought it would do, But it injured tlie cause of the red white and blue. Chorus - The sweetest and dearest place on ! this earth, a Dixie, sweet pitie, the land fif my birth; I love ! Til adore her and to her prove true, And we'l) all die flghtipg the red white and blue.
