'DECATUR COUNTY RALLY
SONG'

(Tune: "Stand up for
Jesus.")

JOHN A. GATES.

I.

Come all you loyal
hearted,

A song of praise we'll
sing,

To old Decatur County,

Our laurels we will bring.

(Chorus)

Then here's to old
Decatur,

And may she ever stand,

In everything she enters,

For all that's good and
grand.

II.

We're always up and doing,

We are resolved to grow,

In schools and education,

We'll reach the top, we
know.

Chorus: Then here's to old
Decatur, etc.

III.

So we'll forever forward,

Nor pause, nor hesitate;

We'll send our name and
fame abroad,

O'er all this fertile
state.

Chorus: Then here's to old
Decatur, etc.

IV.

The onward march of
progress,

We never will delay,

But, working all together,

Toil upward day by day.

Chorus: Then here's to old
Decatur, etc.
