M'CLELLAN'S BAND Tune: Gideon's Band
Mason & Co., No. 58 N. 6th. street, Phila.
BY "OUR NED."

Oh, keep your flag out to the breeze!
Oh, keep your flag out to the breeze!
Oh, keep your flag out to the breeze!
If you really want this war to cease.

CHO:
If you belong to McClellan's Band,
Oh take my heart and shake my hand,
If you belong to McClellan's Band.
We're fighting for a home!

Oh, keep the cause right in your mind!
Oh, keep the cause right in your mind!
Oh, keep the cause right in your mind!
For if you don't, you'll lag behind.

Stand by the Union good and strong!
Stand by the Union good and strong!
Stand by the Union good and strong!
And we will let you join our song.

Oh, see our country, once so great!
Oh, see our country, once so great!
Oh, see our country, once so great!
To save it you've no time to wait.

"Old Abe" and Fremont, sure's you're born,
"Old Abe" and Fremont, sure's you're born,
"Old Abe" and Fremont, sure's you're born,
Will be elected--"in a horn,"

Oh, let us all pledge hand and heart!
Oh, let us all pledge hand and heart!
Oh, let us all pledge hand and heart!
From "Little Mac" we'll never part.
