Chapter 7
Liberty Glee.
TUNE:--"_The Pirate's Glee_."
March on! march on! we love the Liberty flag, That's waving o'er our land; As fearless as the eagle soaring O'er the cloud-capped mountain crag, Slavery in terror flies before us; We fling our banner to the blast; It there shall float triumphant o'er us, We will defend it to the last. March on! march on, &c.
Vote on! vote on, we hail the Liberty flag, That leads us on our way; We'll boldly vote, our country saving, And bravely conquer while we may. The world is up--for freedom moving, The thunders' distant roar we hear-- From land to land the free are calling, And slaves with joy and rapture hear. Vote on! vote on, &c.
March on! March on!
TUNE:--"_The Pirate's Glee_."
March on! march on, ye friends of freedom for all, For truth and right contend; Be ever ready at humanity's call, Till tyrant's power shall end. The proud slave-holders rule the nation, The people's groans are loud and long; Arouse, ye men, in every station, And join to crush the power of wrong.--March on, etc.
Fight on! fight on, ye brave till victory's won, And justice shall prevail; Till all shall feel the rays of liberty's sun, Streaming o'er hill and dale. The tyrants know their guilt and tremble, The glowing light of truth they fear; Then let them all their hosts assemble, And Slavery's dreadful sentence hear. Fight on! fight on, &c.
Roll on! roll on, ye brave, the liberty car, Our country's name to save; Soon shall our land be known to nations afar, As the home of the free and brave. The voice of freemen loud hath spoken, A brighter day we soon shall see; When Slavery's chains shall all be broken, And all the captive millions free. Roll on, roll on, &c.
