| Citation | BG.769.021 15 May 1769:23 (737) A NEW LIBERTY SONG, To the tune of Rule Britania. When our forefathers fled the land, Poor Albion with convulsions tore, Saw blood-smeard discords- saw discords flaming brand, With horrid carnage spread the shore. Guard Americans, Americans guard your land, And spurn a tyrant's iron band; (rept.) . . . [6 more quatrains and chorus repeats]. |
