Composed by Gay and published and printed by J.H. Johnson at No. 7 North Tenth Street in Philadelphia. Upper left corner has image of Ellsworth standing on a Confederate flag while an American flag is draped behind him. Caption of the image says "Remember Ellsworth!" Song is sung to the tune of Auld Lang Syne. Contains six stanzas. Last stanza says: "Our flag's insulted, friends are slain, / And must we quiet be? / No, no, we'll rally round the flag / Which leads to victory. / Our flag, the glorious Stars and Stripes, / Forever must she wave, / Where true men live and die each day, / Their country for to save; / Their country for to save. / Where true men live and die each day, / Their country for to save."
