Marching Through Georgia Songtext
von 97th Regimental String Band

Bring the good old bugle boys, we′ll sing another song
Sing it with a spirit that will start the world along
Sing it as we used to sing in 50,000 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 darkies shouted when they heard the joyful sound
How the turkeys gobble which are 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 stashing yankee boys would never reach the coast
So the saucy rebel said, "It was a handsome pose!"
Had they not forgot unless 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 thorough fair for freedom and her train
Sixty-miles in 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!
