Marching on 
Marching on 
Old Abe's in the White House, taking a snooze, Gen'ral Grant is a-busting his gut with his booze, While we're out in the snow and we got no shoes But let's keep a-marching on. 
cho: Glory, glory, hallelujah (3x) Let's keep a-marching on. 
Every time you shoot a Rebel, there is one thing for shore, Every time you shoot a Rebel, there is one thing for shore, For every one you shoot there will be a dozen more But let's keep a-marching on. 
Old Abe he freed the colored folk, Glory Hallelue! Old Abe he freed the colored folk, Glory Hallelue! I wish to the Lord he would free me too, And I'd go a-marching home. 
They say that we are winning, but I can't hardly tell They say that we are winning, but I can't hardly tell For down at Chickamaugie they surely gave us hell But we go marching on. 
Winter is a-coming, it's a-getting mighty cold, Winter is a-coming, it's a-getting mighty cold, Soon all the generals will be a-crawling in their holes While we go marching on.
