This is a genuine War Between the States song, version collected by Francis D. Allan. A few differences in his version from the song sheet.

Lyr. Add: VIRGINIA

Three cheers for Virginia, the home of the free,
The birth-place of Washington, the land of liberty!
Her soil is invaded by tyrants and knaves,
Her fields once so brilliant now gloomy with graves.

Chorus:
Virginia, Virginia, and sweet liberty-
Three cheers for Virginia, the home of the free!

To arms, ye brave sires, and fly to the field;
Thy aim shall be victory, and courage be thy shield;
And trust in your God, for 'tis he that rules us all;
Prepare for thy Maker, be ready for His call.

Virginia, Virginia! the battle's begun;
We've fought the Northern army, and the vict'ry we have won!
Forever the cry of our leaders shall be
"On, on to the charge! brave sons, follow me!"
