| Low may that coward lie | B |
| Who fails to pledge with heart and hand | E |
| The freedom of our glorious Land | E |
| Her Freedom ere we die | B |
| Our wives but ah the glass is clear | G |
| The cannon thunders grasp the spear | G |

| Now on the Foe like thunder crash | H |
| We'll scathe them as a lightning flash | H |
| And conquer though we die | B |
