Tennessee Ernie Ford
The Army of the Free
In the army of the Union we are marching in the van
And will do the work before us, if the bravest soldiers
Can
We will drive the Rebel forces from their strongholds
To the sea
And will live and die together in the Army of the Free

We may rust beneath inaction, we may sink beneath
Disease
The summer sun may scorch us or the winter's blasts may
Freeze
But whatever may befall us, we will let the Rebels see
That unconquered we shall still remain the Army of the
Free

The Army of the Free, in the Army of the Free
That unconquered we shall still remain the Army of the
Free

We have Butterfield the daring and we've Martindale the
Cool
Where could we learn the art of war within a better
School
Add Morell to the list of names and we must all agree
We have the finest Generals in the Army of the Free
The Army of the Free, in the Army of the Free
We have the finest Generals in the Army of the Free

Then hurrah for our Division, may it soon be called to
Go
To add its strength to those who have advanced to meet
The foe
God bless it, for we know right well, wherever it may
Be
'Twill never fail to honor our great Army of the Free

The Army of the Free, in the Army of the Free
'Twill never fail to honor our great Army of the Free
