26 Mar 1770:31 (781)
A new song. (Lately compos'd on Castle-Island.)
At present said to be much in vogue among the Caldeonians.
  You simple Bostonians, I'd have you beware,
  Of your Liberty-Tree I would have you take care:
  For if that we chance to return to the town,
  Your houses and stores will come tumbling down.
  Derry down, down, hey, derry down.
. . . [3 more 4-line stanzas and choruses]
