The Liberty Song

Come join hand in hand, brave AMERICANS all, And rouse your bold hearts at fair LIBERTY'S call; No tyrannous acts shall suppress your free claim, Or stamp the word SLAVE, on AMERICA'S name. In freedom we're born, and in freedom we'll live, Our money is ready, Steady, boys, steady, Let's give it as Freemen, but never as Slaves.

Our worthy Forefathers, let's give them a cheer, To climates they knew not, full bravely did steer, Thro' oceans, to desarts, in freedom they came, And, dying, bequeath'd us their freedom and fame. In freedom, &c.

The Tree their own hands had to liberty rear'd, Deep rooted in earth, grew strong and rever'd: Then, from all assaults, we this tree will maintain, And leave to our children the fruit of our pain, In freedom, &c.

Here's a health to our King, and the Nation at home, AMERICA and BRITAIN should ever be one: In liberty's cause, we united shall stand The envy and dread of each neighbouring land. In freedom, &c.

Then join hand in hand, brave AMERICANS all, By uniting, we stand, by dividing, we fall; In so righteous a cause, we must surely succeed, For Heaven approves of each generous deed. In freedom, &c.
