The Right of Every Woman Good News Ladies! It’s the right of every woman To mark out her path in life, Good news, ladies, And to be a saint or soldier, Or a true and loving wife; good news, ladies, To fill the soul with gladness, And recall the world from Good news, ladies,— strife,As she goes marching on. we’re going to let you vote.

Chorus: Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Chorus: Glory, glory, hallelujah, As she goes marching on. Merrily we’ll go along, Go along, go along, Merrily we’ll go along, It’s her right to serve the nation In its every hour of need, Down to the polls with you. Her right to sit in judgment On her country's faith and creed, Sweet dreams, ladies, sweet dreams, ladies, And show the world her courage By some high, heroic deed, Sweet dreams, ladies,— As she goes marching on. Chorus. we’ll save the country now!

It's her right to train the children Onward, ladies, Onward, ladies, In the home and in the school, Onward, ladies,— To help in framing statutes And determine who shall rule, you’ve won your vote at last And, like man, to cast her ballot For a statesman or a fool, As she goes marching on. Chorus.
