VERSE # 1:

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.

VERSE # 2:

Save it from the storm, boys.
Water down its roots with tea,
And the sun will always shine
On the old Liberty Tree.

VERSE # 3:

March along with the fifer, boys.
We were born forever free.
We will pay the piper, boys,
Beneath the Liberty Tree.

VERSE # 4:

Pay the price they're asking, boys,
Always pay the tyrant's fee.
Never give up the struggle, boys,
Fight for the Liberty Tree.

VERSE # 5:

Stand for the rights of man, boys.
Stand against all tyranny.
Hang the of light of freedom, boys,
High on the Liberty Tree.

VERSE # 6:

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.
