1. Stand up for Uncle Sam, my boys, With hearts brave and true; Stand up for Uncle Sam, my boys, For he has stood up by you. He's made you homes the brightest The sun o'er shone upon. For honor, right and freedom, He's many a battle won.
CHORUS Stand up for Uncle Sam, my boys, With hearts brave and true. Stand up for Uncle Sam, my boys, For he has stood up by you.
2. Oh, strike for Uncle Sam, my boys, For danger is near; Yes! strike for Uncle Sam, my boys, And all to you most dear. Rebellious sons are plotting To lay the homestead low. Their hands are madly lifted To give the fatal blow.
(CHORUS)
3. Oh, fall for Uncle Sam, my boys, If need be to save; Yes! fall for Uncle Sam, my boys, Tho' in a soldier's grave. His flag so long our glory Dishonor'd shall not be But heav'nward float forever The banner of the free.
