  The man that all in fancy see, wherever it is seen; The chap that’s ready for a fight Whenever there’s a wrong to right, The friend in every time of need, The doer of the daring deed, The clean and generous-handed man That is a real American.

Mothers and wives, ’tis the call to arms
 * That the bugler yonder prepares to sound;

We stand on the brink of war’s alarms
 * And your men may lie on a bloodstained ground.
