THE LIBERTY TREE
(Tom Blackburn & George Bruns, 1956)
(From the Disney film "Johnny Tremain")
Plant the seed in our homeland, boys.
Let it grow where all can see.
Feed it with our devotion, boys.
Call it the Liberty Tree.
CHORUS: It's a tall old tree and a strong old tree,
And we are the Sons, yes, we are the Sons, the Sons of Liberty.
Save it from the storm, boys.
Water down its roots with tea;
And the sun will always shine
On the old Liberty Tree. CHORUS
March along with the fifer, boys.
We were born forever free.
We will pay the piper, boys,
Beneath the Liberty Tree. CHORUS
Pay the price they're asking, boys,
Always pay the tyrant's fee.
Never give up the struggle, boys,
Fight for the Liberty Tree. CHORUS
Stand for the rights of man, boys.
Stand against all tyranny.
Hang the of light of freedom, boys,
High on the Liberty Tree. CHORUS
It will grow as we grow, boys.
It will be as strong as we.
We must cling to our faith, boys,
Faith in the Liberty Tree. CHORUS
