William McCarty, comp. The American National Song Book. 1842.
Great National Whig Song“I
Sons of Freedom, arise! the time is at hand—
Around Liberty’s standard we’ll rally, we’ll rally;
The star-spangled banner floats over the land.
Then let the proud eagle spread his wings wide asunder,
And burst from the trammels which strive to enchain;
“If we rise in our strength, if we speak but in thunder,”
The bit of “striped bunting” will flourish again.
The blood of our fathers shall ne’er be forgot,—
The faith and the honour they sacredly plighted,
Shall never be tarnish’d by Anarchy’s blot;
Around Liberty’s standard we’ll rally, we’ll rally;—
Old Tippecanoe, boys, the watchword shall be;
Its echo will thunder from each mountain and valley
Of the home of the brave—the land of the free.
