Song of Texas.

18

TUNE -- "Lucy Neale."

I fear no haughty nation,
Though foes all round are piled,
For now I take my station,
As Uncle Sammy's child.

Chorus -- For Texas now is free,
Young Texas now is free,
And when I shine among the stars,
How happy I shall be.

Though Mexico is pride now,
Begins to threaten blows,
I'll grin at Sammy's side, now,
With my thumb upon my nose.
For Texas now is free, &c.

In '36 I was of age,
Took Liberty's degrees,
And to unite I have a right,
With any state I please.
For Texas now is free, &c.

In Liberty's pure laws, now,
Uncle Sam and I are one,
And I will aid his cause, now,
For sister Oregon.
For Texas now is free, &c.

With freedom's fire prolific,
We'll clear our rightful bound,
From Atlantic to Pacific,
Is Uncle Sam's own ground.

19

The whole shall yet be free,
The whole shall yet be free,
And Uncle Sam shall have it all,
In peace and Liberty.
