Come all ye true friends of the nation,
Attend to humanity’s call;
Come aid the poor slave’s liberation,
And roll on the liberty ball –
And roll on the liberty ball –
Come aid the poor slave’s liberation,
And roll on the liberty ball.
The Liberty hosts are advancing –
For freedom to all they declare;
The down-trodden millions are sighing-
Come, break up our gloom of despair.
Come break up our gloom of despair, &c.
Y Democrats, coma to the rescue,
And aid on the liberty cause,
And millions will rise up and bless you,
With heart-cheering songs of applause,
With heart-cheering songs, &c
Ye Whigs, forsake slavery’s minions,
And boldly step into our ranks;
‘We care not for party opinions,
But invite all he friends of the banks,-
And invite all the friends of the banks, &c.
And when we have formed the blest union
We’ll firmly march on, one and alt-
We’ll sing when we meet in communion,
And roll on the liberty bill,
And roll on the liberty ball, &c.
