Was ever stauncher pluck displayed? No trembling hearts, no man dis- mayed, But bidding home and friends good. by, Lead on, we come to do or die, And no man asked the reason why, And when the foe they did assail, Oa native courage they relied; Their trust in God. right must prevail, We'll stand the test, we'll do or die, And no man asked the reason why. Boom, boom, it le the cannon's roar, The bloody fight is on, And men are falling by the score, And still the rest press on.
