Our mountains, lakes, and rivers are now in a blaze of fire,

While we send the news by lightning on the Telegraphic wire.

Then come along, etc.

While Europe’s in commotion, and her monarchs in a fret,

We’re teaching them a lesson which they never can forget;

And this they fast are learning, Uncle Sam is not a fool,

For the people do their voting, and the children go to school.

Then come along, etc.

The brave in every nation are joining heart and hand,

And flocking to America, the real promised land;
