WE'LL BE FREE IN
OUR MARYLAND.
AIR - "GIDEON'S BAND."
The boys down South in Dixie's land,
The boys down South in Dixie's land,
The boys down South in Dixie's land,
Will come and rescue Maryland,
Chorus - If you will join the Dixie band,
Here's my heart and here's my hand,
If you will join the Dixie band,
We're fighting for a home.
The Northern foes have trod us down,
The Northern foes have trod us down,
The Northern foes have trod us down,
But we will rise with true renown.
Chorus - If you will join the Dixie band, &c.
The tyrants they must leave our door,
The tyrants they must leave our door,
The tyrants they must leave our door,
Then we'll be free in Baltimore.
Chorus - If you will join the Dixie band, &c.
[These hirelings they'll never stand, ]
These hirelings they'll never stand,
These hirelings they'll never stand,
When ever they see the Southern band.
Chorus - If you will join the Dixie band, &c.
Old Abe has got in a trap,
Old Abe has got in a trap,
Old Abe has got in a trap.
And he can't get out with his Scotch cap.
Chorus - If you will join the Dixie band, &c.
Nobody's hurt is easy spun,
Nobody's hurt is easy spun,
Nobody's hurt is easy spun,
But the Yankees caught it at Bull Run.
Chorus - If you will join the Dixie band, &c.
We rally to Jeff Davis true,
Beauregard and Johnston too;
Magruder, Price and General Bragg,
And give three cheers for the Southern flag,
Chorus - If you will join the Dixie band, &c.
We'll drink this toast to one and all,
Keep cock'd and prim'd for the Southern call;
The day will come, we'll make the stand,
Then we'll be free in Maryland.
Chorus - If you will join the Dixie band, &c.
