Cheer up, comrades, they will come,

MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIAN

Although written late in the war, prob
ably no song commemorating the struggle
or intended to inspire the troops has a
stronger foothold in the hearts of the peo-
pie than Marching Through Georgia"
In the very melody is an expression of en-
thusiasm that even after 80 years makes
the song dear to the hearts of the old SOL
diers and sets their feet to keeping time
with the music That the sentiment Of
the Grand Army of the Republic is in its
favor was well illustraSed by an old back
woodsman in an Ohio post He was dress
ed, so the story goes, in faded suit of
homespun, and his shaggy head was sur
mounted by greasy, broad brimmed hat.
In his right hand he was carrying a small
sized cord wood stick as a cane. But after
he had travelled a couple of miles it was
plain that the strain was beginning to tell
on the old fellow
He was travelling at go-as- you-please
rate, when his commander, anxious to
make a good appearance with his post on
dress parade, stepped up to him and said,

mJOHN BROWNS ROpY.n


After the execution of John Brown at
Harper's Ferry, in December, 1859, a song
was adopted that speedily became a part
of the marching music of the armies of the
north. Its catchy phrases were not only
familiar around the flresides Of the coun-
try, but in all public gatherings where
music was won't to inspire the multitude
1t relieved the tedium of camp life, and as
1t resounded through columns of men
tramping patiently along the dusty high
ways it lightened the WEAKNESS of their
footsteps.
1t is said that the words with the ex-
ception of the first stanza, were written
by Mr.. Charles S. Hall of Massachusetts,
but long before the war the air, welded
to other words, was familiar on every plan
tation in the south 1t was the favorite
camp meeting melody of the negroes, and
few spectaoles were more inspiring than
when, with grotesque gestures, they join
ed in singing (the women first):
Say, my brudders, will we meet yo'P
Say, my brudders will we meet yo'p
Say, my brudders will we meet yo'P
On Ca-ni-yun's happy sho'?
Then the men responding:
Ya-a-s, my sistern, we will meet yo',

Where partin is no mo-.

The war song is as follows:

Freedom" BATTLE Hymn Of the Repub-

The songs of a nation are among the
most enduring of its memories and in
time of war are the most potent Of its NOR
al influences. Frenohmen are moved by
1.-THE Marseillaise, Germans are aroused
to fighting enthusiasm by" The Watch on

battle singing Rule Britannia" and
God Save the Queen" and we have all
read how Annie Laurie, begun by a SEN
tinel on his post, swept in grand chorus
through the British camp in front of Sc
vastopol. The favorite of the italian is
known as "The Garibaldian Hymn, while
we Americans recognize the loftiest and
purest patriotism in the stirring measures
of our own Star Spangled Banner"
Nevertheless it is noteworthy that no
great war song ever has been written by a
great poet. Its melody and verse have
been rather the inspired product of fervid
patriotism than of the studied effort of gen.
Jus. During the first three years of the
late war thousands of verses were composed
by earnest men and women in both the
north and south, but how few among
these winged messengers of the brain
survive! There were lyrics that timed the

1--WE ARE COMING, FATHER ABRA,
HAM,"

TIfNWs
A stirring war song that was famous In
its day and generation, and which served
its purpose at the time, was known by thC
above title. 1t was in answer to the proc
lamation Of President Lincoln in 1862
calling for 300, 900 volunteers to swell thu
army, and It doubtless contributed to that
result.
At first the stanzas appeared anony-
mously in the New York Evening Post Of
July 10, 1862, and the authorship was at
tributed to William Cullen Bryant and
then to Julia Ward Howe. Subsequently it
became known that the author was Mr.
James Sloane Gibbons, native of Will
mington, Del, but resident of New York
city. He was an ardent abolitionist, and
for time was one of the editors Of The
Antislavery Standard. The words are as
follows:
We are coming, Father Abraham,
Three hundred thousand more
From Mississippi's winding stream
And from New England's shore.
We leave our plows and workshops,
Our wives and children dear,
With hearts too full for utterance,
With but n silent tear.
We dare not look behind us,
But steadfastly before
We are coming, Father Abraham,
Three hundred thousand more.
CHORUS.
We are coming, we are coming,
Our Union to restore;
We are coming, Father Abraham,
Three hundred thousand more;
We are coming, Father Abraham,
Three hundred thousand more.
If you look across the hilltops
That meet the northern sky,
Long, moving lines of rising dust
Your vision may descry,
And now the wind an instant
Tears the cloudy veil aside
And floats our spangled flag
In glory and in pride,
And bayonets in the sunlight CLEAN
And bands brave music pour
We are coming, Father Abraham,
Three hundred thousand more.

Other touching songs of affection that be-
long to this group are Mother, I've Come
Home to Die, " Brothers Painting at
the Door" and 1.-THE Vacant Chair" The
latter, by Henry S. Weshburn, is still a
favorite throughout the country:
THE VACANT CHAIR.
We shall meet, but we shall miss him;
There will be one vacant chair;
We shall linger to caress him
While we breathe our evening prayer.
When, year ago, we gathered,
JOY was in his mild blue eye,
But golden chord is severed,
And our hopes in ruins lie.
CHoRUs-We shall meet, etc.
At our Preside, sad and lonely,
Often will the bosom swell
AT remembrance of the story
How our noble soldier fell
How he strove to bear our banner
Through the thickest of the fight
And upheld our country's honor
In the strength of manhood's might.
True they tell us wreaths of glory
Evermore will deck his brow,
But this soothes the anguish only
Sweeping Ger our heartstrings now.
Sleep today, o early fallen,
In thy green and narrow bedl
Dirges from the pine and cypress
Mingle with the tears we shed.
Among the songs commemorative Of
the death of Colonel Ephraim E. Ellsworth
was the following:
DEATH OF ELLSWORTH.
Down where the patriot army,
Near Potomaes side,
Guards the glorious cause Of freedom.
Gallant Ellsworth died.
Brave was the noble chieftain,
Who at his country's call
fastened to the field of battle
And was the first to fall.
CHORUS.
Strike, freemen, for the Union;
Sheathe your swords no more
While remains in arms a traitor
On ColumbiA's shore.

HUMOR IN SONG

Humor had its place among the wal
songs as well as sentiment and martial
spirit. Henry G. Work, the author Of
Marching Through Georgia" wrote:
GRATED INTO THE ARMY.
Our Jimmy has gone to live in a tent;
They have grated him into the army.
He finally puckered up courage and went
When they grated him into the army.
told them the child was too young. Alas,
At the captains forequarters they said he
would pass
They d train him up well in the infantry class
So they grated him into the army.
CHORUS.
Oh, Jimmy, farewell Your brothers fell
Way down in Alabarmy;
| thought they would spare lone widder's
heir,
But they grated him into the army.
Dressed up in his unicorn, dear little chapl
They have grated him into the army.
It seems but day since he sot on my lap,
But they have grated him into the army.
And these are the trousies he used to wear
Them very same buttons-the patch and the
tear
But Uncle Sam gave him brand new pair
When they grated him into the army.
Rhymesters in the army were not only
numerous, but never without a theme.
Sometimes it concerned a company, at
others regiment or brigade. For in
stance, certain Chicago company, hav-
ing distinguished itself at Shiloh, adopted
song the refrain Of which, sung to the
rollicking air, 1.-The Leg of Duck" an
bounced to their comrades that
Company K has shown the way,
Bully for you'll Bully for you'll
Your turn S coming some other day,
Bully for you Bully for you'll
Every popular tune in vogue was appro-
priated that suited the passing within of
the merry soldiers. "Oh, Dear, What Can
the Matter Be2" "Vive pAmour, 1--WE
Won't Go Home Till Morning." "Such a
Climbing Up Stairs, 1" Philadelphia Gals,
Won't You Come Out Tonight" "Shoo
Fly, "Old Uncle Ned" and score of
others are members of this family. Here
is one of the favorites sung to the tune of
1.-THE Low Back Car" by Miles O'Reilly:
sAMBo AS A SOLDIER.
Some tell us it is a burning shame
To make the naygurs fight,
And that the trade of being kilt
Belongs to but the white.
But as for me, upon my sowl,
So liberal are we here
I'll let Sambo be murthered in place Of
myself
On every day in the year.
CHORUS.
On every day in the year, boys
And every hour in the day,
The right to be kilt I'll divide with him,
And divil a word I'll say.
The men who object to Sambo
Should take his place and fight,
And it's better to have naygur's hue
Than liver that's wake and white.
Though Sambo's black as the ace of spades,
His fingers thrigger can pull,
And his eye runs straight on the barrel
sights
From under his thatch Of wool.
CHORUS.
So hear me all, boys, darlings,
Don't think I'm tipping you chaff,
The right to be kilt I'll divide wild him,
And give him the largest half.

in voice husky and scratchy and out Of
tune, a strain from Marching Through
Georgia."
The captain laughed and turned away,
held moments conversation with the
leader of the band, and the Introductory
notes of the next piece caused the old fell
low to straighten up. His cudgel waved
about like the baton of drum major
and a little later thousand feet were COM
ing down as one, the fatigue of the march
was forgotten, and a thousand voices were
joined in the rousing chorus. The words
of the famous song were written by Henry
c. Work. He was born in Middletown,
Conn, in 1889 and died in Hartford June
s, 1884:
Bring the good old bugle, boys,
Wen sing another song
Sing it with a spirit
That will start the world along
Sing it as we used to sing it,
Fifty thousand strong
While we're marching through Georgia.
CHORUS.
Hurrahl Hurrahi we sing the jubileel
Hurrahl Hurrahl the flag that makes us freei
So we sang the chorus, from Atlanta to the sea-
While we were marching through Georgia.
How the darkies shouted
When they heard the joyful soundl
How the turkeys gobbled
Which our commissary foundl
How the sweet potatoes even
Started from the ground
While we were marching through Georgia.
"Sherman's dashing Yankee boys
Will never reach the coasti"
So the saucy rebels said,
And twas o handsome boast,
Had they not forgot alas,
To reckon with the host.
While we were marching through Georgia.
So we made thoroughfare
For freedom and her train,
Sixty miles in latitude,
Three hundred to the main.
Treason fed before US,
For resistance was in vain,
While we were marching through Georgia.
