The Battle Cry of Freedom - The Weavers - (Lyrics)

Comment and vote, folks! Lyrics on video too:
We will rally round the flag, boys
Rally once again,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom
We will rally from the hillside
Gather from the plains,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!

The Union forever!
Hurrah boys hurrah!
Down with the traitor, and up with the star,
While we rally round the flag, boys
Rally once again
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!

We are springing to the call
Of our borthers gone before,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom.
And we'll fill the vacant ranks
With a million freemen more,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!

The Union forever!
Hurrah boys hurrah!
Down with the traitor, and up with the star,
While we rally round the flag, boys
Rally once again
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!

We will welcome to our numbers
The loyal, true and brave,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom
And altho' they may be poor
Not a man shall be a slave,
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!

The Union forever!
Hurrah boys hurrah!
Down with the traitor, and up with the star,
While we rally round the flag, boys
Rally once again
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!

While we rally round the flag, boys
Rally once again
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!

So you're saying sending ships into area lawfully owned by the Union started the war. Pretty stupid, bro.

[shockingzombie242]

nice touch with the abe licoln. but he actully started it. when he sent ships thee south actully thought it was a sign of aggresion. so they fired on fort sumnter! no one really knows how it actully started. so im beliving abe did.

Am I the only one who has a strong desire to go die for the Union? Jeez, they don't make propaganda the way they used to. (Note: I don't mean propaganda as in misinformation, rather as in politically motivated media.)

@MicroBalrog I get the feeling Mel (who I feels is also a talented actor) has a number of "issues" he is dealing with, if it was not antisemitism, it would be some other cause. I would not hire Mel because of his views, but because he seems generally unhealthy and needs help in my opinion.

@allenshepard I remember similar stories of E.Germans getting their records from the Stasi when the east fell apart. I think the era of fear and paranoia that we in the west accuse the Commies off, is something we unfortunately share ourselves.

Political and ideological non-sense aside, I hope is that we can all move forward and put this era of our past behind us and to learn from it.

It is when we vilify our neighbours, that we also condemn ourselves.

@pacificprospector Harold Leventhal and alan lomax both later got their " FBI" papers and there were 800 some pages on them.

Commie, bed-wetter, leftists but they sing it superbly!!!!!

[DropThatBass5567]
