And Uncle Sam stands ready with a child upon each arm,
To give them all a welcome to a lot upon his farm.
Then come along, etc.
A welcome, warm and hearty, do we give the sons of toil,
To come to the West and settle and labor on Free Soil;

Oh! come to the land of Freedom and vote yourself a farm.
Then come along, etc.
Yes! we’re bound to lead the nations, for our motto’s “Go Ahead,”
And we’ll carry out the principles for which our fathers bled;
