Our band is few but true and tried	A
Our leader frank and bold	B
The British soldier trembles	C
When Marion's name is told	B
Our fortress is the good greenwood	D
Our tent the cypress tree	E
We know the forest round us	C
As seamen know the sea	E
We know its walks of thorny vines	C
Its glades of reedy grass	C
Its safe and silent islands	C
Within the dark morass	C
	-
	-
Woe to the English soldiery	E
That little dread us near	E
On them shall light at midnight	F
A strange and sudden fear	E
When waking to their tents on fire	E
They grasp their arms in vain	G
And they who stand to face us	C
Are beat to earth again	H
And they who fly in terror deem	I
A mighty host behind	J
And hear the tramp of thousands	C
Upon the hollow wind	J
	-
	-
Then sweet the hour that brings release	C
From danger and from toil	K
We talk the battle over	E
And share the battle's spoil	K
The woodland rings with laugh and shout	L
As if a hunt were up	M
And woodland flowers are gathered	N
To crown the soldier's cup	M
With merry songs we mock the wind	J
That in the pine top grieves	C
And slumber long and sweetly	E
On beds of oaken leaves	C
	-
	-
Well knows the fair and friendly moon	O
The band that Marion leads	C
The glitter of their rifles	C
The scampering of their steeds	C
'Tis life to guide the fiery barb	P
Across the moonlight plain	G
'Tis life to feel the night wind	J
That lifts his tossing mane	G
A moment in the British camp	Q
A moment and away	R
Back to the pathless forest	S
Before the peep of day	R
	-
	-
Grave men there are by broad Santee	R
Grave men with hoary hairs	C
Their hearts are all with Marion	T
For Marion are their prayers	C
And lovely ladies greet our band	R
With kindest welcoming	U
With smiles like those of summer	E
And tears like those of spring	U
For them we wear these trusty arms	C
And lay them down no more	E
Till we have driven the Briton	T
Forever from our shore	E
