Not Kenesaw high arching	B
Nor Allatoona's glen	C
Though there the graves lie parching	B
Stayed Sherman's miles of men	C
From charred Atlanta marching	B
They launched the sword again	C
The columns streamed like rivers	D
Which in their course agree	E
And they streamed until their flashing	B
Met the flashing of the sea	E
It was glorious glad marching	B
That marching to the sea	E
The brushed the foe before them	F
Shall gnats impede the bull	G
Their own good bridges bore them	F
Over swamps or torrents full	G
And the grand pines waving o'er them	F
Bowed to axes keen and cool	H
The columns grooved their channels	I
Enforced their own decree	E
And their power met nothing larger	J
Until it met the sea	E
It was glorious glad marching	B
A marching glad and free	E
	-
Kilpatrick's snare of riders	D
In zigzags mazed the land	K
Perplexed the pale Southsiders	D
With feints on every hand	K
Vague menace awed the hiders	D
In forts beyond command	K
To Sherman's shifting problem	L
No foeman knew the key	E
But onward went the marching	B
Unpausing to the sea	E
It was glorious glad marching	B
The swinging step was free	E
	-
The flankers ranged like pigeons	D
In clouds through field or wood	M
The flocks of all those regions	D
The herds and horses good	M
Poured in and swelled the legions	D
For they caught the marching mood	N
A volley ahead They hear it	O
And they hear the repartee	E
Fighting was but frolic	B
In that marching to the sea	E
It was glorious glad marching	B
A marching bold and free	E
	-
All nature felt their coming	B
The birds like couriers flew	P
And the banners brightly blooming	B
The slaves by thousands drew	P
And they marched beside the drumming	B
And they joined the armies blue	P
The cocks crowed from the cannon	Q
Pets named from Grant and Lee	E
Plumed fighters and campaigners	D
In the marching to the sea	E
It was glorious glad marching	B
For every man was free	E
	-
The foragers through calm lands	D
Swept in tempest gay	B
And they breathed the air of balm lands	D
Where rolled savannas lay	B
And they helped themselves from farm lands	D
As who should say them nay	B
The regiments uproarious	D
Laughed in Plenty's glee	E
And they marched till their broad laughter	J
Met the laughter of the sea	E
It was glorious glad marching	B
That marching to the sea	E
	-
The grain of endless acres	D
Was threshed as in the East	R
By the trampling of the Takers	D
Strong march of man and beast	R
The flails of those earth shakers	D
Left a famine where they ceased	R
The arsenals were yielded	S
The sword that was to be	E
Arrested in the forging	B
Rued that marching to the sea	E
It was glorious glad marching	B
But ah the stern decree	E
	-
For behind they left a wailing	B
A terror and a ban	T
And blazing cinders sailing	B
And houseless households wan	U
Wide zones of counties paling	B
And towns where maniacs ran	T
Was it Treason's retribution	Q
Necessity the plea	E
They will long remember Sherman	Q
And his streaming columns free	E
They will long remember Sherman	Q
Marching to the sea	E
