Lyrics
Pass around the bottle and we'll all take a drink (3x)
As we go marching on.
- Glory, glory to old Georgia (3x)
As we go marching on
Hang Jim Davis on a sour apple tree (3x)
As we go marching on
- Glory, glory to old Georgia (3x)
As we go marching on
Old Aunt Peggie won't you fill 'em up again (3x)
As we go marching on
- Glory, glory to old Georgia (3x)
As we go marching by
Pass around the bottle and we'll all take a drink (3x)
As we go marching on

- Recorded on April 17, 1926 in Atlanta, Georgia. The Skillet Lickers recorded extensively throughout the late 20s. They were known for their off-the-wall arrangements of old-time fiddle tunes. This was recorded at their first recording session and included Gid Tanner and Clayton McMichen on fiddles, Fate Norris on banjo, Riley Puckett on guitar and lead vocals, as well as a cast of unidentified performers.
- This is another song to the "John Brown's Body" / "Battle Hymn Of The Republic" melody, with a somewhat less pious bent to the lyrics.
