Tryr-" There I, Pest for the Weary" fvi1 ri'*''
T Is the Old Bay State a-coming
with the Pine Tree waving bighs
Foremos, where the fight is thickest,
Freedom still her battle cry.
From the rocky shore Of Plymouth,
From the plains Of Lexington,
From beneath the shaft of Bunker.
Every hero sends sOn.
Ckoyas-To the fray comes the Bay state.
Clear the way for the Bay State,
Trust you may in the Bay Stats.
She will do or die.
From onr dear old Berkshire mountains.
From Cape Gods sea-beaten sand,
With one cry we rush to battle
Freedom, and our native landi
From tie quiet graves of Concord,
Still as in our fathers day,
Where her countrys need is greatest
Massachusetts leads the way.
Cioras-To the fray, sc.
Onward dash the PineTree banner.
Where a threatened Senate calls,
Ero foe in Freedoms city
Desecrate her sacred ball.
Where a son would strike mother
With traitors stealthy blow,
Forward every loyal brother.
Fly 10 crush the bastard foe.
Ci0rps-To the fray, SC.
Onward then, our stainless banner.
Let it kiss the stripe and siar,
Til in veal and woe united
They forever welded are.
We will plant them by the river
By the gulf, and by the strand.
Til they foai, to Aoai forever,
Ger free, united land
Clo,ps--To the fray, sc.
We have left the rlow and anyh.
Left the ledger and tie loom;
Our shares TO swords are beaten.
And oug pen e tie pen of doom.
Bnt we II piow deeper iurrow.
And We Il deal a heavier blow,
And uuon the Nations Ledger
We viii strike the balance now.
CLolps-To the fray, Sc.
Lay the rails and build tie engines,
O'er the stream the bridgee throws
These are little Yankee notions
Yankees carry as they 90.
To the friends we leave bebind us
or We pledge q hearty health.
And one PRAYER TO God We offer
Sarc fie good old Commonwealth 2
