    When the “Southern Host" withdrew,

    Pitting Gray against the Blue,

    There were none more brave than you,

                Illinois, Illinois,

    There were none more brave than you,

                Illinois.

  
  

  4 Not without thy wondrous story,

                Illinois, Illinois,

     Can be writ the nation's glory,

                Illinois, Illinois,

     On the record of thy years,

     Ab'ram Lincoln's name appears,

     Grant and Logan and our tears,

                Illinois, Illinois,

     Grant and Logan and our tears,

                Illinois.

  
  

  5 When the Cubans struck ’ for freedom,

                Illinois, Illinois,

     Uncle Sam resolved to aid them.

                Illinois, Illinois,

     And for men on land and sea,

     Illinois said: “Call on me!

     For the Cubans must be free!"'

                Illinois, Illinois,

     For the Cubans must be free.

               Illinois.

  
  

  6 Some encamped at Chickamauga,

               Illinois, Illinois,

     Others fell at Santiago,

               Illinois, Illinois,

     Others, anxious for a call,

     They will march, or fight, or fall,

     They are heroes, heroes all,

               Illinois, Illinois,

     They are heroes, heroes all,

               Illinois.
