Air: New-York Volunteer.
There is a General in the West whose deeds have come to fame,
He is a gallant soldier, and in movements he is game;
Then let us raise our voices high and give three hearty cheers
For Siegel, hero of the West, and his German volunteers:
For Siegel, hero of the West, and his German volunteers.
Now at the battle of Bull-Run, we fought well, every one can say,
But panic struck our army, and we had to move away,
And, in that great confusion, of our rear we had great fears,
But it was protected by Blenker and his German volunteers:
But it was protected by Blenker and his German volunteers.
Now there's the gallant Fifth Regiment who before their duty done,
They have again offered their services to go to Washington:
And were it not for Patterson who did Scott's plan betray,
They would join McDowell, at Bull-Run, and took an active part, that day:
They would join Mc Dowell, at Bull-Run, and took an active part, that day.
Then there's the gallant Max Weber who took an active part,
When our ships of war bombarded Forts Hatteras and Clark,
And should the South make an attack, while he and his men are there,
They'll get a mighty good whipping of which they are not aware,
They'll get a mighty good whipping of which they are not aware,
Now, as I close my little song, I'll say a word or two:
Should you be called upon to fight, stand by your colors true;
Then raise your voices with one accord and give three hearty cheers
For Mc Clellan, Scott, and Siegel, and their Union Volunteers!
For Mc Clellan, Scott, and Siegel, and their Union Volunteers!
