[00:04.65]Oh have you heard the glorious news is the cry from every mouth
[00:09.54]Charleston is taken and the rebels put to rout
[00:14.01]And Beauregard the chivalrous he ran to save his bacon
[00:18.69]When he saw General Sherman's Yanks and Charleston is taken
[00:23.10]With a whack rowdy-dow
[00:25.80]A hunkey boy is General Sherman
[00:28.41]Whack rowdy-dow
[00:30.51]Invincible is he
[00:37.74]This South Carolina chivalry they once did loudly boast
[00:42.48]That the footsteps of a Union man should ne'er pollute their coast
[00:47.31]They'd fight the Yankees two to one who only fought for booty
[00:51.93]But when the udsills came along it was Legs do your duty
[00:56.40]With a whack rowdy-dow
[00:59.37]Babylon is fallen
[01:01.71]Whack rowdy-dow
[01:03.84]The end is drawing near
[01:11.04]And from the Sacred City this valiant warlike throng
[01:16.05]Skedaddled in confusion although thirty thousand strong
[01:20.88]Without a shot without a blow or least sign of resistance
[01:25.98]And leaving their poor friends behind with the Yankees for assistance
[01:30.45]With a whack rowdy-dow
[01:32.25]How are you Southern chivalry
[01:35.73]Whack rowdy-dow
[01:37.83]Your race is nearly run
[01:45.06]And again o'er Sumter's battered walls the Stars and Stripes do fly
[01:49.77]While the chivalry of Sixty-one in the Last ditch lie
[01:54.69]With Sherman Grant and Porter too to lead our men to glory
[01:59.58]We'll squash poor Jeff's confederacy and then get Hunkydory
[02:03.99]With a whack rowdy-dow
[02:05.85]How are you neutral Johnny Bull
[02:09.27]Whack rowdy-dow
[02:11.37]We'll settle next with you
