THE PENNSYLVANIA MARCH.  
To the tune of the Scoth song I winna Marry ony Lad, but
Sandy o'er the Lee.
  We are the troops that ne'er will stoop
  To wretched slavery;
  Nor shall our seed, by our base deed,
  Despised vassals be.
[Chorus]
  And all the world shall know,
  Americans are free;
  Nor slaves nor cowards, will we prove,
  Great Britain soon shall see.
. . . [Two more 8-line verses and repetition of chorus.]
