about
Nationalist version of the Civil War era folk song "Battle Cry of Freedom."
lyrics
Our flags are proudly floating on the land and on the main
Shout, shout the battle cry of freedom!
Beneath it oft we've conquered and we'll conquer oft again
Shout, shout the battle cry of freedom!
CHORUS:
Our nations forever, we'll never turn our backs
Down with the sickle and up with the axe
and we'll rally round our good old lads, we'll rally once again
Shout, shout the battle cry of freedom!
Our gallant boys have marched through the torrent of attacks
Shout, shout the battle cry of freedom!
The leaders in charge cry out, "Stand, boys, stand!"
Shout, shout the battle cry of freedom!
CHORUS
They've laid down their lives on the bloody battle field,
Shout, shout the battle cry of freedom!
Their motto is resistance - "To the reds we will not yield!"
Shout, shout the battle cry of freedom!
CHORUS
Our boys have responded, and to the fields they've gone
Shout, shout the battle cry of freedom!
Our noble women also have aided them at home
Shout, shout the battle cry of freedom!
CHORUS
