Instead of spa we'll drink brown ale
And pay the reckoning on the nail
No man for debt shall go to jail
From Garryowen in glory
And then maybe (feel free to jump in and help with this 'un, it's been something I've wanted to tackle for a while)
We will welcome to our ranks the loyal, true, and brave
Shout, shout the Battle Cry of Freedom
For so long as he is armed, not a man shall be a slave
Shout, shout the Battle Cry of Freedom
(Chorus)
Liberty forever! Never shall we yield!
Down with the tyrants! Drive them from the field
We'll stand strong for our rights, boys, stand strong once again
Shout, shout the Battle Cry of Freedom
Check out the utube video Les Misbarack. Son-in-law showed it to me this evening. A really funny send-up of the day before the election in the Obama headquarters.

I've always seen that listed as "the battle hymn of the Republic"
I notice this version says nothing about "the truth is marching on."
And I sing in reply:
Instead of spa we'll drink brown ale
And pay the reckoning on the nail
No man for debt shall go to jail
From Garryowen in glory
And then maybe (feel free to jump in and help with this 'un, it's been something I've wanted to tackle for a while)

Shout, shout the Battle Cry of Freedom
For so long as he is armed, not a man shall be a slave
Shout, shout the Battle Cry of Freedom
(Chorus)
Liberty forever! Never shall we yield!
Down with the tyrants! Drive them from the field
We'll stand strong for our rights, boys, stand strong once again
Shout, shout the Battle Cry of Freedom
(Couple more verses would nae hurt.)
