Accompaniment by Denese Coulbeck:
Lyrics
Connecticut boys came out in sixty-one
And took a gun each one
If we are a thousand strong or only ten
We’ll fight them all the harder then
And when at the end we’ll say
Each mother’s son, “The war is done and won”
The men from the north
Will greet the southern men
While bugles blow we’re friends again
Refrain
Your land and my land
Will be our land one day
Bright bars and white stars
Leading both on our way
Our one flag forever
When war and hatred have gone
So “Glory, glory hallelujah”
We’ll sing as we go marching on
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
