American Version: 'Twas in the days of seventy-six When freemen young and old All fought for Independence then Each hero brave and bold! 'Twas then the noble Stars and Stripes In triumph did appear And defended by brave patriots The Yankee Volunteers 'Tis my great delight to march and fight Like a New York Volunteer! Now, there's our City Regiments Just see what they have done: The first to offer to the State To go to Washington To protect the Federal Capital And the flag they love so dear! And they've done their duty nobly Like New York Volunteers! 'Tis my great delight to march and fight Like a New York Volunteer! The Rebels out in Maryland They madly raved and swore They'd let none of our Union troops Pass through Baltimore But the Massachusetts Regiment No traitors did they fear But fought their way to Washington Like Yankee Volunteers! 'Tis my great delight to march and fight Like a New York Volunteer! I want you to join the 11th New York Fire Zouaves, help us fight the Johnny Rebs!

@@tonybarde2572 thanks for that. It was very interesting. These folk tunes get picked and used all around the world with different words, so it is great to have this version too.
