SHOULDER ARMS.
In the dust by traitors base! Let him ever hide his face. Shoulder arms !
Who would win the soldier's fame ?
Shoulder arms! Who would bear a hero's name — Let him raise his strong arms high, Now to strike or now to die —
Shoulder arms!
See the Rebel ranks advance:
Shoulder arms ! Wake, man, from your guilty trance ; This is time for action deep, Not the hour for sloth or sleep !
Shoulder arms!
Voices call you from the grave —
Shoulder arms! Voices of the martyrs brave, Who, amid the shock of wars, Battled for the Stripes and Stars.
Shoulder arms!
By the names of heroes dead — Shoulder arms!
