There's something strong and mighty in a good old family name
The name of Jackson shineth high upon the scroll of fame;
For nearly all the Jacksons have pursued a lofty aim.
The clan goes marching on!

Chorus: Glory to the name of Jackson!
Glory to the tribe of Jackson!
Hurrah, hurrah, for all the Jacksons!
The clan goes marching on.

Henry, Adam John and "Nick" were fathers of our clan.
Stonewall, John and William were heroes who never ran.
"Old Hickory," the President, was brave and famous man.
The clan goes marching on!

The Jackson blood is mingled with the royal bloods of old.
Each century our numbers have increased a hundred fold.
Among the world's great families our family is pure gold.
The clan goes marching on!

The House of Jackson cherishes traditions of the past,
With the world's great movements they have all their fortunes cast;
And when they pledge their honor they are loyal to the last.
The clan goes marching on!

The Jacksons fought at Flodden, Fredericksburg and Waterloo;
In every righteous cause our kinsmen fought as heroes do
They died in seventeen seventy_six, and nineteen eighteen, too.
The clan goes marching on!

We have our dukes and peasants, common folk and blue bloods, too;
We greet each other with a smile and "Cousin, howdy_do!"
This goes with all the Jacksons and it goes with me and you.
The clan goes marching on!

To every corner of our land we sound the bugle call;
Four hundred thousand cousins hear and answer one and all;
The echo of their footstep's.like Niagara's waterfall.
The clan goes marching on!

We must prove worthy of our place on Jackson Family Tree
Let Jackson standards with the highest in the world agree.
We owe a duty to the generations yet to be.
The clan goes marching on!
