Subject: Lyr Add: THE COMBINATION SONG
THE COMBINATION SONG.
Arranged and sung by A. ANDERSON. [Dec. 1863]
AIR.--The Captain with his Whiskers.

"We are coming Father Abram," "When this cruel Wart is o'er,"
"With many songs to greet you," "by the sad Potomac Shore,"
"'Tis better to be singing than sighing," "Ida May,"
"O ring Merry Bells," "'Tis Independence Day,"
"I'm a merry laughing girl," "Gay and Happy," "Nettie More,"
"With Jockey hat and feather," and "The ring my Mother wore,"
"My Johnny's Marching Home," to the "Volunteers Recall,"
So "We'll have a Dance to night," at "Mr. L?nigan's Ball."

Most "Happy be thy Dreams," sweet "Rose of Allendale,"
"'Neath the Willow she is sleeping," with "Annie of the Vale,"
"Wake up my Lady Love," "There's Music in the Air,"
'Tis "The Song of many Songs," whispered "Ada Adair."
"What fairy-like Music," "Æolian like tones,"
The sweet "Magic Echo," Hark! The Tamborine and Bones,
The Ethiopian Troupe, the finest in the world,
"Columbia's Glorious Banner," the brightest flag unfurled.

"A float on the Ocean," "I'm going around the Horn,"
"Jolly Jack the Rover," "Think of your head in Morn."
"Our Ship sails to Night," "Homeward Bound," "On the Sea,"
"Do they think of me at Home," yes "Ever of Thee."
"The Ship's on Fire," "Larboard Watch," "Ship Ahoy,"
"Tis the burning of New Jersey," cried "The Fireman's Boy,"
"The American Star," and "The Tree of Liberty,"
"The Song for Gallant Hearts," The Minute Gun at Sea."

"When this cruel war is o'er," "Abram's Daughter," "Be my Bride,"
In the "Old Union Wagon," "We'll all take a Ride,"
The "Kingdom's Coming," Rebellion be no more,
"Unfurl the Stars and Stripes," no less than thirty-four.
Prosperity and peace to "Columbia's Happy Land,"
The high-soaring Eagle his pinions shall expand,
From the lake's bright waters to the Gulf of Mexico,
The "Union" be our motto, our Union in toto.
