Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEE FGHGIJIJGG| O look at the horses and people | A |
| How they hurry and trample and fight | B |
| And the smoke blowing over the steeple | A |
| O look how the guns shine bright | B |
| See this one this soldier he's swinging | C |
| His sword over head in the air | D |
| How the shot must be leaping and stinging | C |
| See the men falling down everywhere | D |
| Isn't this what the white folks call the war | E |
| I wonder what they are doing it for | E |
| - | |
| And there's the big flag flying splendid | F |
| White stars pretty red pretty blue | G |
| All torn Do you think 'twill be mended | H |
| And fly out again good as new | G |
| See the blue coats and gray coats I'm sorry | I |
| They bleed and they suffer and die | J |
| What made all the fighting and worry | I |
| Can you think of the reason why | J |
| They killed each other the gray and the blue | G |
| O dusky children it was for you | G |
