 Battle Hymn of the Jenkins

Chorus Lyrics to the poem/song:

Glory to the Tribe of Jenkins Virile, worth, brave and loyal! Let us sing "Perge sed Cau-te!" The Clan goes marching on.

The ancient Clan of Jenkins raised their standards to the sky; they held their name in honor and their aims were ever high; they always did their duty and were not afraid to die. The Clan goes marching on.

Mae-narch, Richard, John and Seth were fathers of our clan; Posterity of David and Benjamin never ran; Joseph was quite virile, Thomas was a sturdy man. The Clan goes marching on.

Our fathers dwelt in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and France; Where English tongue is spoken now, the Jenkins name prevails; How could the nations but advance when Jenkins never fails. The Clan goes marching on.

John was a guide to Washington and with him at Yorktown; with famous men of Georgia, Charlie's name is written down; Albert was in Congress and, in Dixie, of renown. The Clan goes marching on.

The Jenkins clan is mighty with a hundred thousand strong; In Seventy-six, four hundred Jenkins fought to right a wrong; seven towns bear Jenkins name. Sure let us sing that song -- The Clan goes marching on.

When danger threatened country or battle to be won, Or righteous causes need defenders or work to be done, Brave Jenkins were right there, and never did a Jenkins run, The Clan goes marching on!

The Jenkins sons have courage any task or foe to face; The Jenkins girls are lovely with their beauty, charm and grace; The Jenkins leaven is blessing to the human race, The Clan goes marching on!
