The Army Of The Free - Tennessee Ernie Ford

In the army of the Union we are marching in the van

And will do the work before us, if the bravest soldiers

Can

We will drive the Rebel forces from their strongholds

To the sea

And will live and die together in the Army of the Free

We may rust beneath inaction, we may sink beneath

Disease

The summer sun may scorch us or the winter’s blasts may

Freeze

But whatever may befall us, we will let the Rebels see

That unconquered we shall still remain the Army of the

Free

The Army of the Free, in the Army of the Free

That unconquered we shall still remain the Army of the

Free

We have Butterfield the daring and we’ve Martindale the

Cool

Where could we learn the art of war within a better

School

Add Morell to the list of names and we must all agree

We have the finest Generals in the Army of the Free

The Army of the Free, in the Army of the Free

We have the finest Generals in the Army of the Free

Then hurrah for our Division, may it soon be called to

Go

To add its strength to those who have advanced to meet

The foe

God bless it, for we know right well, wherever it may

Be

'Twill never fail to honor our great Army of the Free

The Army of the Free, in the Army of the Free

'Twill never fail to honor our great Army of the Free
