Bring the good ol' Bugle boys, we'll sing another song
Sing it with a spirit that will start the world along
Sing it like we used to sing it fifty thousand strong,
while we were marching through Georgia
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee.
Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea,
while we were marching through Georgia.
How the darkeys shouted when they heard the joyful sound
How the turkeys gobbled which our commissary found
How the sweet potatoes even started from the ground,
while we were marching through Georgia.
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee.
Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea,
while we were marching through Georgia.
Yes and there were Union men who wept with joyful tears
When they saw the honored flag they had not seen for years
Hardly could they be restrained from breaking forth in cheers,
while we were marching through Georgia.
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee.
Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea,
while we were marching through Georgia.
"Sherman's dashing Yankee boys will never make the coast!"
So the saucy rebels said and 'twas a handsome boast
Had they not forgot, alas! to reckon with the host,
while we were marching through Georgia.
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee.
Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea,
while we were marching through Georgia.
So we made a thoroughfare for freedom and her train,
sixty miles of latitude, three hundred to the main
Treason fled before us, for resistance was in vain,
while we were marching through Georgia.
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee.
Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea,
while we were marching through Georgia.
