Ta ra ra! Ta ra ra! The trumpets are blowing, And thrice hath their brazen notes pealed. To battle! to battle the soldiers are going, To conquer or die on the field. On, soldiers! brave soldiers, who venture your lives You fight for your country and sweethearts and wives.
Ta ra ra! Ta ra ra! The drums roll like thunder, And women's tears falling like rain. For lovers! for lovers are parted asunder, Till victory crowns the campaign. On, soldiers! brave soldiers go forth to the fray, And close with the foe in their battle array.
