A song written by a private in the 1st North Carolina Union Volunteers, Company L. The printer was a sergeant in the same company. "We have enlisted for three years / And our duty we will do / We will fight for our loved Union / Our Red, White, and Blue / And if the Reb's attacks us / The truth to them we'll tell / We will tell them they are mistaken / For they have got to fight Co.
