A Host of Boys in Blue"
Fresh from hundred fields of war,
The battle SCARED and true.

And roll of martial drum;
But armed with balssss for the right,
In peaceful ranks they come;
To shield the starry flag they bore
From traitors hands anew;
They are coming, Andy Johnson

We've finished up the war;
And where is now the traitors flag
That bears the Stars and Bars?"

The Loyal Boys In Blue,
From Muine and from New Hampshire,
And the Bay State ever true;
From the Green Mountains of Yer
And little Rhody's shore, [mont,
From the homesteads of Connecticut
The hardy veterans pour;-
As late when flashing DER the land
The news of Sumter flew,
They are coming, Andy Johnson
The loyal Boys i'm Blue.'

The faithless aaron, too;

= The Frccmen Of the land;
To save the prize they won with blood
From Treasonh eager hand; gan
From the White House to Lake Michi.
They've heard your wanton speech;
To jcers and threats aud curses loud,
This plain response they teach:
BY the memory of Antietam,
And Lookout Mountain high;
BY the nObte dead of Gettysburg.
IN hoa0red graves who lie;
CHORUS. -Hurrah! Hurrah
We've finished up the war;
And where Is now the traitors flag
That bears the "Stars and Bars ?''
BY memory of Fort DonelsOn,
And Shiloh's bloody shore;
BY memory of the Wilderness,
And Vicksburg's cannon roar;
BY memory of Fort Pillows slain,
BY SCENES we may not tell, -
OF Libby, and of Anderson,
And many a rebel hell;
BY those who fell, when Sherman
Marched proudly to the sea;
BY those who swelled at Richmond
The shouts of Victory
CHoRUs.-Hurrah Hurrah!
We've finished up the war;
And where Is now the traitors flag,
That bears the "Stars and Bars ?"
BY memory of the loved and lost
or many u Northern home;
BY mothers, widows, orphans tears,
For those who nee may come;
BY memory of "our Martyr Chief,"'
BY foul assassins slain;-
No rebel horde, no traitor hand
Shall rule our land again;
But traitors shall be punished,
And treason odious made;
And woe to him, or high or low,
by whom we are betrayed.
CHoRUs--H Hurrah! Hurrah!
And where is now the traitors flag,
That bears the "Stars and Bars ?'
