Come ^Amall you loyal Unionists, where^Amver y^Gou may ^Ambe I h^Cope you’ll pay attention and l^Eisten unto me For ^Amwell you know the blood and woe, the m^Cisery and the toil It t^Amook to down Secessionist ranks on Vir^Amginia’s b^Emloody s^Amoil

When ^Amour good old flag, Stars and Stripes, from S^Amumter’s w^Galls was h^Amurled And h^Cigh o’erhead on the forwardest walls the R^Eebels’ flag unfurled It a^Amroused each loyal Unionist and c^Caused his blood to boil For to ^Amsee that flag, Secessionist rag, on Vir^Amginia’s bl^Emoody s^Amoil

Then f^Amrom the hills and mountain tops there c^Amame that w^Gild a^Amlarm Rise ^Cup, ye gallant sons of north, our c^Eountry calls to arms! Come f^Amrom the plains o’er hill and dale, ye h^Cardy sons of toil For our f^Amlag is trampled in the dust of Vir^Amginia’s b^Emloody s^Amoil

And th^Amousands left their natives homes, some n^Amever ^Gto re^Amturn And m^Cany’s the wife and family, dear, were l^Eeft behind to mourn There ^Amwas one who went among them, who, from d^Canger would not recoil Now his b^Amones lie bleaching on the fields of Vir^Amginia’s b^Emloody s^Amoil

When ^Amon the field of battle, he n^Amever w^Gas af^Amraid When c^Cannons loud would rattle, he st^Eood there undismayed When b^Amullets bullets rained about him, he st^Cood there with a smile He said, “We’ll c^Amonquer, boys, or leave our bones on Vir^Amginia’s bl^Emoody s^Amoil.”

In the g^Amreat fight of the Wilderness, where m^Amany a b^Grave man f^Amell He b^Coldy led his comrades on through R^Eebel shot and shell The w^Amounded ‘round they strewed the ground, the d^Cead lay heaped in piles Their c^Amomrades weltered in their blood on Vir^Amginia’s b^Emloody s^Amoil.

The R^Amebels fought like fury, or t^Amigers d^Grove to b^Amay They k^Cnew full well, if truth they’d tell, they w^Eouldn’t win the day It was h^Amand-to-hand they fought ‘em. The st^Cruggle fierce and wild Till a b^Amullet pierced our Captain’s brain on Vir^Amginia’s b^Emloody s^Amoil

But a-^Ambove that din of battle, what w^Amas that dr^Geadful c^Amry? The ^Cwoods were all afire, where our d^Eead and wounded lie! The s^Amight to behold next morning would make the s^Ctoutest heart recoil To see the ch^Amarred remains of thousands o' souls on Vir^Amginia’s b^Emloody s^Amoil

And n^Amow our Hero’s sleeping with th^Amousands ^Gof the b^Amrave No m^Carble slab does mark the place that s^Ehows where he was laid He d^Amied to save our Union; he’s f^Cree of care and toil Thank ^AmGod the Stars and Stripes still wave ab^Amove Vir^Emginia’s s^Amoil
