God bless the good old Thirteen States;

Who cares for musty birth day dates
God bless them old and new.
The old ones first our freedom gained
In bloody fights of yore;
The young ones have their rights maintsined,
As the old ones did before.
Or South or North. or East or West.
Twin sisters all they be,
One mother narsed them al her breast,
And that was Liberty
And NAV the wretch whose hand shall strive
To cut their vital thread,
Be scornsd while in this world alive,
And scorned when he is dead
Now fill the bowl with Natures wine,

The sovereign People King.
For they're the only King own.
All others despise,
The King that towers above the throne,
Tho hing that never dies.
