We came down here to see the square thing done;
But it's got to work both ways.
Sixth Militiaman.
And mine.
Seventh Militiaman.
And mine.
Harvey Anderson.
(To Chadbourne)
You're all right, partner, only you don't see
The inside of this thing that's happened here.
The day's gone by when two or three big men
Could ride her to and fro for their own gain
And lay her up and starve the crew. That's past.
We're going to take the flags down of the Kings,
Kings of Lumber, Kings of Cotton, Kings of Coal,
From one end to the other of this land,
And we'll all be Americans, North and South
And East and West until you touch the seas.
And there's the thing that's going to fly the mast.
(Points to the flag on the floor)
And when she climbs you'll hear the guns go off
Announcing a new Independence here.
