Hold the Fort

We meet to die in freedoms cause And raise our voices high. We'll join our hands in union strong To battle or to die. Hold the fort For we are coming, Union men be strong. Side by side keep pressing onward, Victory will come. Look my comrades See the union banner waving high. Reinforcements now appearing Victory is nigh. Hold the fort For we are coming, Union men be strong. Side by side keep pressing onward, Victory will come. See our numbers still increasing Hear the bugles blow. By our union we shall triumph Over every foe. Hold the fort For we are coming, Union men be strong. Side by side keep pressing onward, Victory will come. Fierce and long, the battle rages But we do not fear. Help will come whenever it's needed Cheer my comrades cheer. Hold the fort For we are coming, Union men be strong. Side by side keep pressing onward, Victory will come. --- Hold the Fort - Billy Bragg
