Cold Water Boy’s Hurrah

Ho, for the day which is dawning so bright
     The star of tee-total hath ushered it in,
Sorrow and mourning have fled in the light,
     And terror hath stricken the army of sin
The foe laid low, no more may go,
     The works of the Lord to mar;
But his grave is made and there he’s laid,
     With the wreck of his bloody car.

Come on then come, and we’ll all rejoice,
     And leap on the grave of the slaughtered foe;
Our glorious Army of girls and boys
     Have laid the pride of the Spoiler low.
One shout give out, as we close the rout
     To the light of our morning star,
Loud ring the peal till the green woods reel,
     And echo the wild HURRAH!

Pour it again for the Cold Water Boys, 
     Who’ve joined the ranks of our fearless band.
Roll it out like a single voice,
     Till the shout is heard all over the land;
Yes pour, one more like a torrent's roar,
     Till the clouds above us jar;
And yon blue sky shall shake to the cry 
     Of our brave HURRAH! HURRAH!

And now for the girls, the fair teee girls,
     Who trip it so gay in our victor dance,
We’ll send the shout, till the still air whirls, 
     High up and away in the blue expanse;
Well done, each one, in the race you’ve begun, 
     In the field of the bloodless war;
Peal high and aloud, the chorus proud, 
     HURRAH! HURRAH! HURRAH!

Now for our fathers, and mothers, and friends, 
     And all who've fought in the glorious strife, 
Ere yet our song of rejoicing ends, 
     We'll give one round, with fire and life;
Send out the shout, around about,
     All over our lines afar;
Hurrah then! Hurrah again!
     Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
