The American Girls Song.
Our hearts are with our native land


Our song is for glory;
Her warriors wreath is in our hand,
Our lips breathe out her glory,
Her lofty hills and valleys green,
Are shining bright before usl
And like rainbow sign is seen
Her proud flag waving DER usl
And there are smiles upon her lips
For those who meet our foemen;
For glory's star knows no eclipse,
When smiled'upon by woman,
For those who brave the mighty deep,
And scorn the threat Of danger,
We've smiles to cheer, and tears to weep
For every ocean ranger.
Our hearts are with our native land,
Our songs are for her freedom;
Our prayers are for the gallant band
Who strike where honor leads them,
Who love the taintiess air we breathe,
Otis freedoms endless dower,)
Wen Irvine for him an endless wreath
Who scorns tyrant's power.
They tell me of Frances beauties fair,
Of Italy's proud daughters;
Of Scotland's lassies England s fair,
And nymphs of Shannon's waters,
We need not boast their naughty charms,
Though lords around them hover,
Our glory lies in freedoms arms
a freeman for a lover!
