The Third Company paltered | C |
Right through the fire of hell | N |
Where fifty brave Guardsmen fell | N |
Zagonyi had ridden well | N |
Foley had faltered | C |

Flashed like a flame of fire | K |
Flashed with a menace dire | O |

The sword of the Captain | D |
Kennedy saw the flash | H |
And ordered the Third to dash | H |
Gallantly forward | C |
Come on Boys for Liberty | C |
Forward and follow me | C |
Remember Kentucky | C |
Into the hell they broke | P |
Into the fire and smoke | P |
Dealing swift saber stroke | P |
The gallant Kentuckians | Q |
Horses plunge | R |
Riders lunge | R |
Heavily forward | C |
Over the fallen they ride | C |
Down to Zagonyi's side | C |
Mowing a swath of death | L |
Either side right and left | C |
Piling the slaughtered | C |
- | |
Under the storm of lead | C |
Still hissing overhead | C |
They re formed the battle line | D |
Then the brave Captain said | C |
Guardsmen avenge our dead | C |
Charge Up the hill they go | S |
Right into the swarming foe | S |
Woe to the foemen woe | S |
See mad Zagonyi there | G |
Streams on the wind his hair | G |
Flashes his saber bare | G |
On they go on they go | S |

Sabers clash | H |
On they plunge on they dash | H |
Following Zagonyi | F |
Into the hell again | D |
- | |
Hand to hand fight and die | C |
Infantry cavalry | C |
Grappled and mixed they lie | C |
Infantry cavalry | C |
Hurra the Rebels fly | C |
Bravo Three Hundred | C |
Forward and follow me | C |
Shouted the Captain | D |
Union and Liberty | C |
All the Guards thundered | C |
With mad hearts and sabers stout | C |
Into the Rebel rout | C |
Gallop the Guardsmen | D |
Thundering their cry again | D |
Cleaving their foes in twain | D |
Piling the heaps of slain | D |
Sabered and sundered | C |
Three hundred foes they slayed | C |
Glorious the charge they made | C |
Victorious the charge they made | C |
The gallant Three Hundred | C |
Let the Crown Poet paid | C |
Sing of the Light Brigade | C |
And The wild charge they made | C |
When Some one had blundered | C |
Following the British Bard | C |
I sing of the Body Guard | C |
The Heroes that fought so hard | C |
Where nobody blundered | C |
Hail brave Zagonyi hail | T |
All hail the Body Guard | C |
The glorious | U |
The victorious | U |
The invincible Three Hundred | C |
