COME JOIN HAND IN HAND,

BRAVE AMERICANS ALL

To the tune of "Hearts of Oak"
JOHN DICKINSON (?)

Come, join hand in hand, brave Americans all,

And rouse your bold hearts at fair Liberty's call;

No tyrannous act shall suppress your just claim,

Or stain with dishonour America's name. In freedom we're born, and in freedom we'll live!

Our purses are ready-
Steady, friends, steady;

Not as slaves, but as freemen our money we'll give.

Our worthy forefathers (let's give them a. cheer)

To climates unknown did courageously steer;

10

Through oceans to deserts for freedom they came,

And, dying, bequeath'd us their freedom and fame.

In freedom we're born, etc.

How our ancestors acted some ages ago: 10 While Minden's red field and Quebec shall proclaim

That their sons are unchanged or in nature or name.

Should the proud Spanish dons but appear on the main,

The island they pilfered, by force to maintain,

The brave sons of thunder our wrongs will redress,

And teach them again what they learn'd of Queen Bess.

Tho' the proud Roman eagle to Britain was borne,

Both talons and feathers got plaguily torn;
