THE BATTLE CRY OF THE NEW FREEDOM

For he kept us out of war, boys, he’ll always keep us out, Shouting the cry of watchful waiting, ’Neath our flag of snowy white, we will be too proud ft) 'fight, Shouting the cry of watchful waiting. CHORUS. The Union forever, hurrah, boy, hurrah! Down with the soldier, up with the pen, For he kept us out of war, boys, rayy once again, Shouting the cry of watchful waiting.

(With Apologies to George Frederick Root.)

[Copyright: bv John T McCutcheon.]

When the sword is at our throat, he will write a little note, Shouting the cry of watchful waiting, For he kept us out of war, boys, he kept us out of war. Shouting the ery of watchful waiting. Let your hearts with rapture burst as we sing of • safety first, Shouting the cry of watchful waiting, When the hated foreign foes walk around upon our toes, We’ll shout the cry of watchful waiting.
