G C G
Bring the good ol' Bugle boys, we'll sing another song
A7 D7
Sing it with a spirit that will start the world along
G C G C G
Sing it like we used to sing it fifty thousand strong,
D G
while we were marching through Georgia
C G
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee.
D
Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free
G C G B7
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea,
D D7 G
while we were marching through Georgia.
G C G
How the darkeys shouted when they heard the joyful sound
A7 D7
How the turkeys gobbled which our commissary found
G C G C G
How the sweet potatoes even started from the ground,
D G
while we were marching through Georgia.
C G
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee.
D
Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free
G C G B7
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea,
D D7 G
while we were marching through Georgia.
G C G
Yes and there were Union men who wept with joyful tears
A7 D7
When they saw the honored flag they had not seen for years
G C G C G
Hardly could they be restrained from breaking forth in cheers,
D G
while we were marching through Georgia.
C G
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee.
D
Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free
G C G B7
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea,
D D7 G
while we were marching through Georgia.
G C G
"Sherman's dashing Yankee boys will never make the coast!"
A7 D7
So the saucy rebels said and 'twas a handsome boast
G C G C G
Had they not forgot, alas! to reckon with the host,
D G
while we were marching through Georgia.
