Jefferson and Liberty

Words by Robert Treat Paine, Jr.; tune "The Gobby-O," 1801

2. No Lordlings here with gorging jaws
Shall wring from Industry the food,
No Bigot's with their holy Laws,
Lay waste our fields and streets in blood.

Refrain

3. Here strangers from a thousand shores,
Compell'd by Tyranny to roam,
Shall find amidst abundant stores,
A nobler and a happier home.

Refrain
