Battle Cry of Freedom 《為自由而戰的吶喊》又叫《集合到國旗下，男兒們》，是喬治．F．魯特創作於1861年。它可能是美國南北戰爭期間人們最喜愛的一首聯邦歌曲。魯特創作了兩個不同的版本，一首是為平民寫的“勞動”歌，另一首是為戰士寫的“戰鬥”歌。第一個版本是在愛國集會、徵兵大會和軍營里唱，第二個版本是進行曲。
這首歌曲是如此受歡迎以至於它被作曲家H.L.Schreiner 和作詞家W. H. Barnes改編了一個南方邦聯的版本。同一首軍歌曲被互為敵對的兩個陣營廣為傳唱，在世界史上是極為罕見的。
這首歌曾被多次翻唱，是深受美國人民喜愛的歌曲之一。

聯邦版本歌詞：
Yes we'll rally round theflag, boys, we'll rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
We will rally from the hillside, we'll gather from the plain,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
We will rally from the hillside, we'll gather from the plain,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
- (Chorus)
- The Union forever! Hurrah, boys, hurrah!
- Down with the traitors, up with the stars;
- While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again,
- Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
- (Chorus)
We are springing to the call of our brothers gone before,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And we'll fill our vacant ranks with a million freemen more,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And we'll fill our vacant ranks with a million freemen more,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
- (Chorus)
We will welcome to our numbers the loyal, true and brave,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And although they may be poor, not a man shall be aslave,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
And although they may be poor, not a man shall be aslave,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
- (Chorus)
So we're springing to the call from the East and from the West,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom;
And we'll hurl the rebel crew from the land that we love best,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom;
And we'll hurl the rebel crew from the land that we love best,
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
