LIBERTY.
A New Song, to the tune of Hearts of Oak.
Come chear up, my lads, to our country be firm;
As King of the ocean, we'll weather each storm;
Integrity calls out, fair liberty, see, 
Waves her flag o'er our heads, and her words are Be Free.
  Hearts of Oak are we still, for we're sons of those men
  Who always were ready, 
  Steady, boys, steady, 
  To fight for our freedom again and again.
. . . [4 more verses with burden, "Hearts of Oak, &c."]
