Alexander T. Katon Poem, undated
Union Song
Come all ye freeman bold togather young and old
Arise and let us all be going
Their's confusion in our land brot on by a traitor band
Who are striveing to distroy our glorrous union
Chorus
Then come come away let us not delay
But onward let us be going
We'l brave the storm togather and yield to traitors never
For we're bound to defend our glorious union
Their is our glorious Flag bought by our fathers blood
The traitors have taken it down
The stripes they've rent a sunder and the stars they've trampled under
And stuck up the rag of disunion
Chorus
But we will these wrongs revenge with our gallant union men
Who togather like brothers are going
We will forward with out fear and save all thats near and dear
For we are bound to defend our glorious union
Chorus
Gallant sons of Pensylvania are as brave and bold as any
For thousands and thousands have gon on
With others to unite and to raise the stars and stripes /
Whare now floats the rag of disunion
Chorus
They say their men are better drilled and fight with a better will
Than any of our forces now at Washington
But they had no time to tary down at Harpers Ferry
To face the defenders of our union
Chorus
Then in a warlike manner we'l fling out our stary banner
And to the field of battle we will march on
We'l desert our Flag oh never but the stripes shall wave forever
The emblems of our glorious union
Chorus
Mr. Allexander T. Katon
