           Verses composed on our way to Washington

 

We joined the army tother day

Because we thought we-d get big pay

And have some fun most evry day

And go off down to dixie

 

At Westfield first we took our stand

And there our living it was grand

Becaus John Young he was the man

Hurrah for John and dixie

 

When we left there some tears were shed

And blessings heaped upon our heads

Pitty the female hearts that bled

When we left there for dixie

 

At Albany next we made a stop

Evry man he filled his crop

But soon our ears began to lop

Before we got to dixie

 

For now I'll just tell you the truth

The butter was strong enough forsooth

To extract evry feeble tooth

There on our [?] road to dixie
