THE MARCH OF THE SOUTHLAND VOLUNTEERS.
By John G. Smith. We're marching, we Southlanders, steadfast and true, With hearts of the oak and with banner of blueLike heroeß we'll rally round order and law, And for Queen and for country hurra and hurra. For our Queen and our country hurra and hurra, For our Queen and our country hurra and hurra, For freedom and right We'll march to the fight, And shout a triumphant hurra and hurra. We're marching, we Southlanders, loving and leal, With blast of the trumpet and weapons of steel, For our homes and our ingles we'll gallantly draw — For our wives and our sweethearts hurra and hurra. For our homes and our ingles hurra and hurra, For our wives and our sweethearts hurrra and hurra. For the love-glancing eyes We so tenderly prize, We'll march double quick and hurra and hurra. The foe— let him come from the soa or the land — We'll shoulder to shoulder courageously stand, Like heroes we'll fight, or like heroes we'll fa*, And the battle-clouds rend with hurra and hurra. Our war-cry shall aye be hurra and hurra, Our death sigh shall aye be hurra aud hurra, Till the foeman shall flee From the land of the free, And ourguerdonbeSouthland'ahurraand hurra.
