Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!, also known as The Soldiers Hope, was one of the most popular songs of the Civil War. The 1864 song was written and published by George Fredrick Root, and it was known to give hope to the Union prisoners of war. The catchy melody of the song has been repurposed several times, such as it was for the Christian children's song Jesus Loves The Little Children. The melody is also heard in the Irish patriotic tune God Save Ireland. Root was a famous songwriter during the Civil War, and was well known for songs including The Battle Cry For Freedom. The song Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! was the plot basis and title of a 1926 installment of Fleischer's Song Car-Toons series. The film is highly acclaimed by the National Film Preservation Foundation, and the film is preserved by the Library of Congress.

TRAMP! TRAMP! TRAMP!
In the prison cell I sit,
Thinking mother dear, of you,
And our bright and happy home so far away,
And the teats they fill my eyes,
Spite of all that I can do,
Tho' I try to cheer my comrades and be gay.
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are march-ing,
Cheer up, comrades, they will come.
And beneath our country's flag,
We shall breathe the air again,
Of the Freeland in our own beloved home.
In the battle front we stood,
When their fiercest charge they made,
And they swept us off, a hundred men or more,
But before they reached our lines,
They were beaten back dismayed,
And we heard the cry of vict'ry o'er and o'er.
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are march-ing,
Cheer up, comrades, they will come.
And beneath our country's flag,
We shall breathe the air again,
Of the Freeland in our own beloved home.
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are march-ing,
Cheer up, comrades, they will come.
And beneath our country's flag,
We shall breathe the air again,
Of the Freeland in our own beloved home.

And our bright and happy home so far away,

Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are march-ing,
