To the tune of “Heart of Oak” (anthem of the Royal Navy) and “Here’s a Health” (irish ) First appearance of “United we Stand, Divided we Fall” Reference to “Liberty” is to John Hancocks ship “The Liberty” which was seized by the authorities for smuggling. That led to a suspension of English imports by Boston Merchants in 1768. "Liberty Song" by John Dickinson Come, join hand in hand, brave Americans all! And rouse your bold hearts at fair Liberty's call; No tyrannous acts shall suppress your just claim, Or stain with dishonor America's name. Chorus: In freedom we're born, and in freedom we'll live! Our purses are ready, Steady, friends, steady; Not as slaves, but as free men, our money we'll give. How sweet are the labors that freemen endure, That they shall enjoy all the profit, secure, No more such sweet labors Americans know, If Britons shall reap what Americans sow. Then join hand in hand brave Americans all, By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall; In so righteous a cause let us hope to succeed, For Heaven approves of each generous deed.
