"The Northern Star" (1862) Patriotic Song and Chorus Words by Edward H. C. Clark Arranged for the Piano by Frederick H. Cluett Troy, NY: William Cluett & Son, 266 River St. [Source: 089/058@Levy] 1. Oh! we're a band of brothers, Arrayed at freedom's call; We're fighting for man's dearest rights, Which God designed for all. Our watchword is "THE UNION": We mean it shall be just; We hail the Goddess Liberty, And place it in her trust. CHORUS [sung after each verse] Hurrah! Hurrah! For Freedom's Flag hurrah! The red, the white, the heavenly blue, Where shines the Northern Star! 2. The haughty Southern Traitors, Must fall before our might; Their hearts are hot, their arms are strong, But we are in the right. We wish them nothing evil; Our welfare is their gain; But for our country and our God, We must break ev'ry chain!
