The cry of "Liberty" rends the air?

Where grow the maize and the maple tree,

In the fertile "bottoms" of Tennessee?

Or is it up where the north winds roar,

Away by the fair Canadian shore,

Where the Indians shriek with insane halloos—

As drunk as owls in their bark canoes?

"Not there—not there, my child."

Or is it back in the Western States,

Where Colt's revolver rules the fates,
