[D] The rebels _ [G] _
rejoice [A] that they [D] cannot be seen.

_ _ _ _ _ The rebels from their _ _ [A] homes are compelled to go,

Then away _ from [A] their _ [G] homes, away _ [A] they will [D] be,

[D] And the lark is [G] singing home [A] to North _
[D] Missouri.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Away from their _ _ [A] sweethearts they [D] _ [A] have to stay,
[D] And lay in the woods by night [A] and by day,
_ [D] For if the [G] _ _ _ [D] federals they should [A] capture [D] be,
_ They will [G] be carried to [A] the _ _ [D] sanctuary.
_ _ Then away from their _ [A] homes, [G] _
away [A] they will [D] be,

[D] _ [G] _
[D] Back to the wars with all speed I must go,
With my gun in [G] my hand [D] and my jacket [A] also blue.
_ [D] _ Farewell my [G] dear _ friends, [A] I must bid [D] you adieu.
Then away from my [A] _ home, [G] away I [A] will _ [D] be,
Away from my home and away dear [A] from me,
[D] Where the roses in bud and the blossoms on [A] the tree,
