We meet today in Freedom's 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 we battle onward,
Victory will come.
Look, my Comrades, see the union
Reinforcements now appearing,
Victory is nigh.
Hold the fort for we are coming-
Union men, be strong.
Side by side we battle onward,
Victory will come.
See our numbers still increasing;
Hear the bugle blow.
By our union we shall triumph
Over every foe.
Hold the fort for we are coming-
Union men, be strong.
Side by side we battle onward,
Victory will come.
Fierce and long the battle rages,
But we will 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 we battle onward,
Victory will come.
