O’er this the land of liberty,
The birthplace of the brave.
RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO THE 69TH REG’T., N. Y. S. M.
Sweet Maid of Erin.
BY ROBERT M. HART.
Air—Kathleen Mavourneen.
Sweet Maid of Erin, the war-cry is sounding,
The bugle’s loud pealing is heard o’er the plain,
While Death on his charger in battle is bounding,
And leaving behind him our patriot slain.
