New Yankee Doodle

New Yankee Doodle

• A band of brothers, let us be,
• While Adams guides the nation
• And still our dear-bought freedom guard,
• In evry situation.
• Yankee Doodle, guard your coast,
• Yankee Doodle Dandy.
• Fear not then or threat or boast,
• Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Jefferson and Liberty

• The gloomy night before us flies,
• The reign of terror now is oer
• Its gags, inquisitors and spies
• Its hordes of harpies are no more.
• Rejoice Columbias sons rejoice
• To tyrants never bend the knee,
• But join with heart and soul and voice
• For Jefferson and Liberty.

  we doubt not, were ready to cooperate in any
  external attack.
