| Shut the mill gate leave the stall | D |
| Fling the axe and hammer by | C |
| Throng to Faneuil Hall | D |
| Wrongs which freemen never brooked | C |
| Dangers grim and fierce as they | E |
| Which like couching lions looked | C |
| On your fathers' way | E |
| These your instant zeal demand | C |
| Shaking with their earthquake call | D |
| Every rood of Pilgrim land | C |

| Dreaded more than steel or ball | D |
| Shall your calmest utterance be | L |
| Heard from Faneuil Hall | D |
| Have they wronged us Let us then | M |
| Render back nor threats nor prayers | N |
| Have they chained our free born men | M |
| Let us unchain theirs | N |
| Up your banner leads the van | O |
| Blazoned 'Liberty for all ' | P |
| Finish what your sires began | O |
| Up to Faneuil Hall | D |
