2nd South Carolina String Band
Southron’s Battle Cry of Freedom
[Verse 1]
Our flag is proudly floating
On the land and on the main
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom
Beneath it oft we've conquered
And we'll conquer oft again
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom

[Chorus]
Our Dixie forever, she's never at a loss
Down with the eagle and up with the Cross
And we'll rally 'round the Bonnie flag
We'll rally once again
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom

[Verse 2]
Our gallant boys have marched
To the rolling of the drum
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom
And the leaders in charge cry
"Come, boys, come!"
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom

[Chorus]
Our Dixie forever, she's never at a loss
Down with the eagle and up with the Cross
And we'll rally 'round the Bonnie flag
We'll rally once again
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom
[Verse 3]
They have laid down their lives
On the bloody battlefield
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom
Their motto is resistance
"To tyrants we'll not yield!"
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom

[Chorus]
Our Dixie forever, she's never at a loss
Down with the eagle and up with the Cross
And we'll rally 'round the Bonnie flag
We'll rally once again
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom


[Chorus]
Our Dixie forever, she's never at a loss
Down with the eagle and up with the Cross
And we'll rally 'round the Bonnie flag
We'll rally once again
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom

[Verse 4]
While our boys have responded
And to the field have gone
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom
Our noble women also have aided them at home
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom
[Chorus]
Our Dixie forever, she's never at a loss
Down with the eagle and up with the Cross
And we'll rally 'round the Bonnie flag
We'll rally once again
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom

[Chorus]
Our Dixie forever, she's never at a loss
Down with the eagle and up with the Cross
And we'll rally 'round the Bonnie flag
We'll rally once again
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom
We'll shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom
