1. Cum, brudders cum, an’ let us jine in de song,
Dat freedom am de right an’ dat shab’ry am de wrong,
An’ we’ll shoulder de musket an’ we’ll trow away de hoe,
An’ nebber for ole massa will we strike anoder blow. 

CHORUS [sung after each VERSE]
Den shout boys, hurrah! we’re gwine to be free,
For Gabriel blows de trumpet ob de year ob jubilee!

2. Cum, brudders cum, an’ let us jine in de dance,
An’ go in fur de Union, spite ob England an’ ob France,
We ax no odds ob either Uncle Sam can stan’ alone,
An’ shuffle to de music ob de banjo an’ de bones.

3. Cum, brudders cum, an’ let us jine in de fight,
To blow up ole secession an’ to keep de Union right,
De “stars an’ de stripes,” boys, shall waber where we go,
From de ribber ob Ohio to de gulf ob Mexico.
