Description:
All of the sheet music that we list is always ALL ORIGINAL and never reproduced or photocopied!
Offered here is a vintage antique large format 19th century Civil War music sheet; "Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The Prisoner's Hope, G.Root, Civil War", by Geo. Root, Civil War, Published by Root & Cady, Chicago, 1864. An Heavily Lithographed original issue. From a previously bound volume - thus tiny chips along the spine, oxidation and some light foxing [lighter than it appears on the scan]. The inside front cover has a lithographed add for Root & Cady Organs and Pianos - the back cover has adds for other music from the publisher.
In the prison cell I sit, thinking Mother, dear, of you,
And our bright and happy home so far away,
And the tears, they fill my eyes 'spite of all that I can do,
Tho' I try to cheer my comrades and be gay.
Chorus:
Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching,
Cheer up, comrades, they will come,
And beneath the starry flag we shall breathe the air again
Of the free land in our own beloved home.
In the battle front we stood, when their fiercest charge they made,
And they swept us off a hundred men or more,
But before we reached their lines, they were beaten back dismayed,
And we heard the cry of vict'ry o'er and o'er.
CHORUS
So within the prison cell we are waiting for the day
That shall come to open wide the iron door,
And the hollow eye grows bright, and the poor heart almost gay,
As we think of seeing home and friends once more.
CHORUS
We do discount shipping costs for multiple purchases. Shipping Procedures I pride myself on quick shipping. I usually ship on Mondays and on Fridays except on holidays. Once a package is in the Postal Service hands, I loose control over it. Generally for US shipments you can expect delivery within 3 or 4 business days (or 3-9 for media rate). For non-US shipments, once the package leaves the US, even the USPS looses control over it. I can not predict transit times for these packages. They quite often are held up in customs in the receiving country. Please be patient. All payments from countries other than the U.S.A. must be made via paypal or an International Money Order in US Funds, ONLY - no exceptions. Sign up for PayPal; the fast, easy, and secure way to pay online.
