Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! or "The Prisoner's Hope" Union Civil War song lyrics
George F. Root
In the prison cell I sit, thinking Mother, dear, of you, And our bright and happy home so far away, And the tears, they fill my eyes 'spite of all that I can do, Tho' I try to cheer my
comrades and be gay.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching, Cheer up, comrades, they will come. And beneath the starry flag we shall breathe the air again, Of the free land in our own beloved
home.
In the battle front we stood, when their fiercest charge they made, And they swept us off a hundred men or more, But before we reached their lines, they were beaten back dismayed, And we
heard the cry of vict'ry o'er and o'er.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching, Cheer up, comrades, they will come. And beneath the starry flag we shall breathe the air again, Of the free land in our own beloved
home.
So within the prison cell we are waiting for the day, That shall come to open wide the iron door. And the hollow eye grows bright, and the poor heart almost gay, As we think of seeing home
and friends once more.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching, Cheer up, comrades, they will come. And beneath the starry flag we shall breathe the air again, Of the free land in our own beloved
home.
