Civil War Music - New York Volunteers!

This song comes from a game called
"Battleground: Bullrun"

This is an old, old game. But has some great
musical pieces.

'Twas in the days of seventy-six
When freemen young and old
All fought for Independence then
Each hero brave and bold!
'Twas then the noble Stars and Stripes
In triumph did appear
And defended by brave patriots
The Yankee Volunteers
'Tis my delight to march and fight
Like a New York Volunteer!

Now, there's our City Regiments
Just see what they have done:
The first to offer to the State
To go to Washington
To protect the Federal Capital
And the flag they love so dear!
And they've done their duty nobly,
Like New York Volunteers!
'Tis my delight to march and fight
Like a New York Volunteer!

The Rebels out in Maryland
They madly raved and swore,
They'd let none of our Union troops
Pass through Baltimore
But the Massachusetts Regiment
No traitors did they fear
But fought their way to Washington
Like Yankee Volunteers!
'Tis my delight to march and fight
Like a New York Volunteer!

New York. We sent the most troops and payed the highest price than any other state in the Union.

[Lieblingsfachful]

I find it ironic that this song harkens back to glorify those people who were fighting for their independence, when they were going off to fight those who were doing the exact same thing; fighting for their independence.
