Free America
from GaryM03062 Hosted by GaryM03062
Lyrics by Joseph Warren, slightly revised here. Tune: "The British Grenadiers." That seat of science Athens, And earth’s proud mistress, Rome, Where now are all their glories We scarce can find a tomb. Then guard your rights, Americans, Nor stoop to lawless sway, Oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose For Free America. Proud Albion bow’d to Caesar, And numerous lords before, To Picts, to Danes, to Normans, And many masters more; But we can boast Americans Have never fallen prey, Huzza, huzza, huzza, huzza For Free America. Torn from a world of tyrants Beneath this western sky We formed a new dominion, A land of liberty; The world shall own we’re free here, And such will ever be, Huzza, huzza, huzza, huzza For love and liberty. God bless this maiden climate, And through her vast domain May hosts of heroes cluster Who scorn to wear a chain. And blast the venal sycophants Who dare our rights betray; Assert yourselves, yourselves, yourselves For brave America, Lift up your hearts, my heroes, And swear with proud disdain, The wretch who would ensnare you Shall spread his net in vain; Should Donald send out all his thugs, We’d meet him in array, And shout huzza, huzza, huzza For brave America.
