While Europe's in commotion, and her monarchs in a fret, We're teaching them a lesson which they never can forget; And this they fast are learning, Uncle Sam is not a fool, For the people do their voting, and the children go to school. Then come along, etc. The brave in every nation are joining heart and hand, A welcome, warm and hearty, do we give the sons of toil, To come to the West and settle and labor on Free Soil; We've room enough and land enough, they needn't feel alarmed Oh! come to the land of Freedom and vote yourself e farm. Then come along, etc. Yes! we're bound to lead the nations, for our motto's "Go Ahead," And we'll carry out the principles for which our father! bled; No monopoly of Kings and Queens, but this is the Yankee plan, Free Trade to Emigration and Protection unto man. We've a glorious Declaration to protect us in our rights, An instrument of Freedom, for the blacks as well as whites, And the day is surely coming when Liberty's bright sun Shall shine with noonday splendor in the land of Washington. Then come along, etc. SONG OF FREEDOM. YE who dwell in quiet hamlets, Must the lightning's flash and thunder Hear ye not succeeding ages, From their cloudy distance cry? See ye not the hands of nations Lifted toward the threat'ning sky? Now or never, rise and gain Freedom for this fair domain ! We have vanquished foreign tyrants→→ Speak! ye orators of Freemen, Let your thunder shake these plains; Write! ye editors of Freedom, Let your lightning rive these chains; Up! ye sons of Pilgrims, rise! Strike for Freedom, or she dies; Give this land to future ages THE "NEB-RASCALITY." AS SUNG BY THE HUTCHINSON FAMILY. I. Air-"Dandy Jim." KIND friends, with your permission, I All how they had it "cut and dried," There's one thing more I ought to say, GIANT'S BASS-SOLO. "Fe, fi, fo, fum, I smell the blood of Free-dom; Dead or alive, I'll have some." Oh, terribly the giant swore, There was a giant once before, And with a sling they slew him; That Stephen could be slued with one, No one would say who knew him. V. Air-"Burial of Sir John Moore." 'Twas at the dead of night they met, (So I'm informed the case is,) Stephen in person leading on The army of "dough-faces." I They voted, at the dead of night. VI. Air-"Yankee Doodle"-Double Quick Time. Oh! bless those old forefathers, in Who in their wisdom looked so far So let them shout, their time is short, For in the house they'll find a boy VII. Air-"Scots Wha' Ha' Wi' Wallace Bled." And now, kind friends, for once and all And we'll resist with all our might FREE SOIL CHORUS. BY J. H. Tune-"Auld Lang Syne." ALL hail! ye friends of Liberty, Come, let us raise a shout to-day For Freedom and Free Soil. For Freedom and Free Soil, my boys, For Freedom and Free Soil; Ring out the shout to all about, We wage no bloody warfare here, But gladly would we toil, To show the South the matchless worth Of Freedom and Free Soil. For Freedom, etc. |
