A NEW SONG. (Lately composed on Castle Island,)
At present said to be much in vogue among the Caledonians.
You simple Bostonians, I'd have you beware,
Of your Liberty-tree I would have you take care;
For if that we chance to return to the town,
Your houses and stores will come tumbling down.
Down, down, down, hey derry down.
. . . [3 Verses with burden "Derry down, &c."]
