American Union Come ri ith the farewell warnings Of
Washington your lips, and imprinted on your hearts
in sectional array of the North against the South but

South from East to West Let the thrty-one columns
wheel into line, and with the inspiring battecry
peang from rank rank re-echoing from State to State
THE USIosTo RESCUE Let together march to the
polls fathers did in the hour Of peril to the music
