Election Songs

Air: Rosin the Beau

Hark ! hark ! to the Trumpet of Freedom !
Her rallying signal she blows :
Come gather around her broad banner,
And battle 'gainst Liberty's foes.
And battle 'gainst Liberty's foes.
And battle 'gainst Liberty's foes.
Come gather around her broad banner
And battle 'gainst Liberty's foes.

Our forefathers plighted their honor,
Their lives and their property too,
To maintain in defiance of Britain
Their principles, righteous and true.
Their principles, righteous and true, &c.

Hurrah ! for the old fashioned doctrine
That men are created all free,
We ever will boldly maintain it,
Nor care who the tyrant may be;
Nor care who the tyrant may be, &c.

We're foes unto wrong and oppression,
No matter which side of the sea;
And ever intend to oppose them,
'Till all of God's image are free !
'Till all of God's image are free, &c.

We're proud of the name of a freeman,
And proud of the character too :
And we scorn to do any action.
Save such as a freeman may do ;
Save such as a freeman may do, &c.

So hurrah ! for the old fashioned doctrine,
That men are created all free !
And down with the power of the tyrant.
Whoever that tyrant may be ;
Whoever that tyrant may be, &c.
