Lyrics

:I.:"God save the South, God save the South,":"Her altars and firesides, God save the South!":"Now that the war is nigh, now that we arm to die,":"Chanting our battle cry, "Freedom or death!":"Chanting our battle cry, "Freedom or death!"

:II.:"God be our shield, at home or afield,":"Stretch Thine arm over us, strengthen and save.":"What tho' they're three to one, forward each sire and son,":"Strike till the war is won, strike to the grave!":"Strike till the war is won, strike to the grave!"

:III.:"God made the right stronger than might,":"Millions would trample us down in their pride.":"Lay Thou their legions low, roll back the ruthless foe,":"Let the proud spoiler know God's on our side.":"Let the proud spoiler know God's on our side."

:IV.:"Hark honor's call, summoning all.":"Summoning all of us unto the strife.":"Sons of the South, awake! Strike till the brand shall break,":"Strike for dear Honor's sake, Freedom and Life!":"Strike for dear Honor's sake, Freedom and Life!"

:V.:"Rebels before, our fathers of yore.":"Rebel's the righteous name Washington bore.":"Why, then, be ours the same, the name that he snatched from shame,":"Making it first in fame, foremost in war.":"Making it first in fame, foremost in war."

:VI.:"War to the hilt, theirs be the guilt,":"Who fetter the free man to ransom the slave.":"Up then, and undismay'd, sheathe not the battle blade,":"Till the last foe is laid low in the grave!":"Till the last foe is laid low in the grave!"

:VII.:"God save the South, God save the South,":"Dry the dim eyes that now follow our path.":"Still let the light feet rove safe through the orange grove,":"Still keep the land we love safe from Thy wrath.":"Still keep the land we love safe from Thy wrath."

:VIII.:"God save the South, God save the South,":"Her altars and firesides, God save the South!":"For the great war is nigh, and we will win or die,":"Chanting our battle cry, "Freedom or death!":"Chanting our battle cry, "Freedom or death!"
