Rhyme Scheme: AAABCCDDB EEEBFFGGB HHHBCCIIB| In the ranks of Marion's band | A |
| Through morass and wooded land | A |
| Over beach of yellow sand | A |
| Mountain plain and valley | B |
| A southern maid in all her pride | C |
| Marched gayly at her lover's side | C |
| In such disguise | D |
| That e'en his eyes | D |
| Did not discover Sallie | B |
| - | |
| When returned from midnight tramp | E |
| Through the forest dark and damp | E |
| Oh his straw couch in the camp | E |
| In his dreams he'd dally | B |
| With that devoted gentle fair | F |
| Whose large black eyes and flowing hair | F |
| So near him seem | G |
| That in his dream | G |
| He breathes his love for Sallie | B |
| - | |
| Oh what joy that maiden knew | H |
| When she found her lover true | H |
| Suddenly the trumpet blew | H |
| Marion's men to rally | B |
| To ward the death spear from his side | C |
| In battle by Santee she died | C |
| Where sings the surge | I |
| A ceaseless dirge | I |
| Near the lone grave of Sallie | B |
