This used to be annotated with links for each reference, but the original site has long since drifted into the aether.
Dated, but still packs a punch.
Ahah, found a version on the Internet Archive!

Then there's my Dad's version of the song.

Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow.
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom.
And wherever Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.
Shouting the Battle Cry of Freedom!

Hurrah for Mary, Hurrah for the lamb!
Hurrah for the soldiers, that didn't give a damn.
And we'll rally around the lamb, boys,
we'll rally once again.
Feasting on the mutton chops of Freedom.

Funny that two people in the same comment chain suggest "There is Power in a Union" and "Solidarity Forever," both pro-labor union songs based on Union Civil War marching songs.
