Bear a hand aloft and alow!
A Yankee ship, and a Yankee crew,
Tally hi ho! you know!
Freedom defends the land where it grew,
We’re free aloft and alow!
Bearing down on a ship, in regal pride,
Defiance floating at each mast-head;
She’s wreck’d, and the one that floats alongside,
The stars and stripes that’s to victory wed.
A Yankee ship, and a Yankee crew,
