lfyou il listen to my song,
III not detain you long,
And viii give you no cause for complaining;
You may join me in a shout,
When I've told you about
The doings in our happy land Of Canaan.
CHoRus-Then rally all We true
Round the Red, White and Blue,
Our colors are well worth sustaining
From them well never fly,
But we'll conquer or we'll die,
In defence of our happy land of Canaan.
The greatest peril yet,
BY which our country's been beset
Is this civil war which now is reigning;
There's but one thing left to do,
We must whip the rebel crew.
And driye them from our happy land of Canaan
Way down in old Missouri,
There's where General Lyon fell,
And he died without ever once complaining:
He left his gallant band,
With brave Siegel in command,
Now he's happy in a better land of Canaan.
Colonel Mulligan's brigade,
They We're never yet afraid,
Fought at Lexington five days without com
planning;
Fed the rebels shell and shot,
Till they out of water got,
Then surrendered up their happy land Of Can

When it comes to run away,
They will tell you mir furstay;

W ho under Colonel Williams are a training:
They are all brave and true,
And they stick like "spaulding's Glue"
hen fighting for our happy land of Canaan.
When our gallant little band
Once arrives in "Dixic's land
The traitors cause you'll see, will soon be wan

Our boys with Eastwood swords,
They would fight the rebel hordes,
And drive them from our happy hand of Canaan
Vow my song is nearly done,
But I'll tell you every one,
Iou'va cause that is wen worth maintaining
Just tell the rebel horde,
ou're the up aud ready Third,
From Iowa in the happy land of Canaan.
