D
We live
A
D
G
in hard and stirring times,
A
D
G
For songs of peace have lost their chimes,
D
A
D
And that's what's the matter.
A
D
The men we held as brothers true
D
A
D
G
so now we have to put them through.
D
A
D
And that's what's the matter.
That's what's the matter.
D
A
D
G
We'll make them leave our land and sea.
D
A
And that's what's the
D
A
D
G
A
D
A
D
matter.
G
D
A
D
A
Oh, yes, we thought our
D
G
neighbors true
A
D
Indulge them as their mothers do
D
G
white, and blue
A
D
And that's what's the matter
A
D
We'll never give up what we gain
D
A
D
G
Our laws and rights with might and main
D
A
And that's what's the matter
D
A
D
G
We'll make them flee my land and sea.
D
A

And that's what's the matter.

The devils thought we would divide
A
D
and Democrats would take their
side.
A
D
G
They then would let the Union slide.
D
A
D
And that's what's the matter.
A
D
But when the war had once begun,
D
A
D
we joined as brothers, everyone!
G
D
A
And that's what's the matter!
D
A
D
G
we'll make them flee by land and sea!
D
A
And that's what's the
D
G
A
D
A
D
G
A
matter!
D
A
D
G
The Miramac, with heavy sway,
A
D
Had made our fleet an easy prey.
A
D
G
The Monitor got in the way,
D
A
And that's what's the matter.
D
A
D
So help to Captain Er ickson,
D
A
D
G
We never stop when what's begun,
D
A
D
And that's what's the matter.
That's what's the matter
D
A
G
We'll make them flee by land and sea
A
D
And that's what's the matter
A
D
G
A
D
A
D
G
A
D
A
We've heard of General
D
G
Beauregard
A
D
Thought he'd fight us long and hard
A
D
G
But he has played out his last card
D
A
D
And that's what's the matter
A
D
So what's the use to fret and pout?
D
A
D
G
Secession dodges all played out
D
A
D
And that's what's the matter
That's what's the matter
D
A
D
G
We'll make them leave our land and sea
A
D
And that's what's the matter
