Текст песни: We'll Fight for Uncle Abe + перевод

Way down in old Varginni

I suppose you all do know

They have tried to bust the Union

But they find it is no go

The yankee boys are starting out

De Union for to sabe

And we’re going down to Washington

To fight for Uncle Abe

Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap

Strap your knapsacks on your back

For we’re a gwine to Washington

To fight for Uncle Abe

Rip, Rap, Flip, Flap

Strap your knapsacks on your back

For we’re a gwine to Washington

To fight for Uncle Abe

There is General Grant at Vicksburg

Just see what he has done

He has taken sixty cannon

And made the Rebels run

And next he will take Richmond

I’ll bet you half a dollar

And if he catches Gen’ral Johnson

Oh won’t he make him holler

The season now is coming

When the roads begin to dry

Soon the army of the Potomac

Will make the rebels fly

For General McClellan he’s the man

The Union for to sabe

O! Hail Columbia’s right side up

And so’s your Uncle Abe

You may talk of Southern Chivalry

And cotton being king

But I guess before the war is done

You’ll think another thing

They say that recognition

Will the rebel country sabe

But Johnny Bull and Mister France

Are 'fraid of Uncle Abe
