A NEW SONG ON THE PRESENT CRITICAL TIMES, by J.W. Hewlings,
to the tune of "Hearts of Oak."
Come rouse up my lads, and join in this great cause, 
In defence of your liberty, your property, and laws!
'Tis to honour we call you, stand up for your right, 
And ne'er let our selves say we are put to the flight.
  For so just is our cause, and so valiant our men, 
  We always are ready, steady boys, steady;
  We'll fight for our freedom again and again.
. . . [7 more verses with burden, "For so just is our cause,
&c."]
