| Citation | NM.766.017 14 Apr 1766:22 (397) A SONG FOR THE SONS OF LIBERTY IN THE SEVERAL AMERICAN PROVINCES. Sure never was picture drawn more to the life, Or affectionate husband more fond of his wife, Than America copies and loves Britain's sons, Who conscious of freedom, are bold as great guns. . . . [6 verses, each burthened with some variation of:] Hearts of oak are we still, for we're sons of those men, Who always are ready, steady, boys, steady, To fight for their freedom again and again. |
