lyrics

CH:
Hey John Marshall sound th' trumpet
an' march we down t'Georgia
na' John Marshall ring th' bell
an' we shall ride t'Tennessee
John Marshall give th' signal
an' we'll head on down t' 'Bama
John Marshall's army marchin' now
all the way t'Oklahomie

Na fer all who care t'see justice done
ye' join John Marshall's army
t'fix it wit' them whom Jackson wronged
stand fer John Marshall now
t' th' president we oughtta say
we'll muster up Virginia
t' them fools we must respond
we'll roust them Carolinas!

I must tell all ye' do-right men
an' th' truth ye' can't deny
stand up now fer th' rights of kin
lest salvation pass ye' by
t'fly against a righteous cause
I know t'be a grievous sin
raise yer voice an' tak' a side
an' pray that Marshall win!

*CH*
