is a popular song dating from 1862, during the time of the American Civil War.

The song is fast-paced and repetitive, and, at the time of its popularity, was often performed by minstrels.

The words and lyrics were composed by William Batchelder Bradbury.

The song was supposedly written as a response to president Abraham Lincoln's request of three hundred thousand more Union soldiers.

The lyrics of the song contain references to such Civil War Generals as Henry Wager Halleck, George B. McClellan, Michael Corcoran, and others.
