Our camp-fires shone bright on the
mountain
That frowned on the river below,
As we stood by our guns in the morning
And
eagerly watched for the foe.
When a rider came out from the darkness
That hung over
mountain and tree,
And shouted, "Boys, up and be read
For Sherman will march to the
sea."
Then cheer after cheer for bold Sherman
Went up from each valley and
glen,
Till the bugles re-echoed the music
That came from the lips of our men.
For we
knew that the stars in our banner
More bright in their splendor would be
And that
blessings from Northland would greet us
When Sherma n marched down to the sea.
Then
forward, boys, foward to battle,
We marched on our wearisome way,
Till we stormed the wild
heights of Resaca ---
God Bless those who fell on that day.
And Kennesaw high in its
glory
Frowned down on the flag of the free,
And the east and the west bore our
standards
When Sherman marched down to the sea.
Still onward we pressed till our
banners
Shone out from Atlanta's grim walls,
And the blood of the patriots
dampened
The soil where the traitor's flag falls.
But we paused not to weep for the
fallen
Who slept by each river and tree,
But we twined them a wreath of the
laurel
When Sherman marched down to the sea.
Oh, proud was our army that
morning
That stood by the cypress and pine,
When Sherman says, "Boys, you are
weary,
But today fair Savannah is mine."
Then sang we a song for our chieftain
That
echoed o'er river and lea,
And the stars in our banner shone brighter
When Sherman marched
down to the sea.
