Peace to the ashes of the dead who nobly fighting fell. 'T was in a glorious cause they died, the Union to maintain. We who are left, when called upon, will try it o'er again. Some of the disagreeable features of a soldier's duty and camp life were dealt with by the soldiers in the spirit of humorous exaggeration, which was as much an evidence of high spirits as the enthusiastic choruses. A camp poet thus relieves his feelings in regard to the exercise of "double quick:"-- Since I became a volunteer things have went rather queer; Some say I'm a three months' man, and others a three years' volunteer. With plenty of likes and dislikes to all I have to stick; There's plenty of pork, salt horse, and plenty of Double Quick. Oh, I'm miserable, I'm miserable, To all I 'll have to stick. The old salt horse is passable, But d-n the Double-Quick. If a friend should call to see you the men have a pretty game. They call him paymaster, obstacle, or some such kind of a name. They chase him around the camp; it's enough to make him sick To try and teach him discipline by giving him Double-Quick. You may feel rather hungry, almost in a starving state, And you wish to get your dinner first, all ready with your plate; There's always others just the same, waiting for the lick; To be the twentieth one, you must travel Double-:Quick. Once upon every Sunday to church you must always go, Your bayonet by your side in case you should meet the foe; And when the service was ended it was called the moral trick To drive you back to your camp at a pleasant Double-Quick. Each day there are just twelve roll-calls to keep you in the camp; If off three rods the bugle sounds, back you will have to tramp, And, if you chance to miss, why, you are a poor, gone chick,-- Fourteen bricks in your knapsack, and four hours Double Quick. Now, all you chaps who would enlist, don't leap before you look, And, if you wish to fight for the Union, go on your own hook, For, if a soldier you become, it will be your last kick, To the devil you will surely be drove headlong Double-Quick.
