Ballad # 1 (Lines 1-3
missing)
4. The pass port of Beauty you
will hear it with a Dear
That is the Boy for me now he was a Volunteer
But traiters & Cowards when doom they
Dont care
We will smile upon none But the Brave
Volunteer
5. We will kill all of the Tories
of the Enemy to be found
And we will leave the cowards with ther
chicken harts behind
We will leave them at home with there coward
coats to weave
While we go in company with the Brave
Volunteer
6. Our names will be inrolled in
Record of Fame
Our deeds will be inspired all those who
fight for fame
Our homes will be honored our Country have no
fear
And we will all Drink a health to the Brave
Volunteer
7. Let Rich men & poor men
all a Like scorne fear
And we will all march to gether a Brave
Volunteer
When our fortune fails us another we can make
But when honor falls no more we can take
8. When old Lincoln Rages we will
Laugh at his storm
We will march under Davis he will keep us all
warm
We will bow to the Ladies and say Good By my
Dear
We will muster into Service A Brave
Volunteer.
9. Fall into Lines dont delay on
the way
Dress by the right or left just as your
Captain says
Southern Blood is boiling it Drives a way all
fear
Then comes up like Brave men and join the
Volunteer
10. Our arms are extended we will
soon strike the Blow
All of them Bolld Thirsty Yankees
we will soon lay them low
the Yankees they will tremble and
old Lincoln fear
When he hears of the marching of
the Brave Volunteers
11. Soon the wars all over and
home you will come
Away goes your muskets the Ladies
lifts your Drum
