And trembling, lips murmur loving adieu.

And tell dearest mother that all will be

May spirits of grace ever guard and defend
her,
Are the last fervent words of each soldiers
farewell.
Rev. G. A. Cressy, chaplain of the regiment
arranged new words to the tune of "Marching
Through Georgia."
Fill your bugles UP with song,
My Minnesota boys;
Well gather around the camp fire
And we'll make little noise.
Wen sing song together
To intensity our joys,
For we are going to Manila.
Chorus
Hurrah Hurrahi Well make a Jubilee.
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! for you and me-
Hurrah! for Minnesota and our country great
and free.
For we are marching to Manila
Here's health to all the pretty girls
We've left so far behind
And dear old Minnesota,
That Is never out Of mind;
And when the is over
What welcome we shall find
When we get home from Manila.
