"THE LIBERTY TREE" 

Lyrics By: 

THOMAS WAKEFIELD BLACKBURN II
Music By:
GEORGE BRUNS 

Featured in the 1956 Walt Disney motion picture,
"JOHNNY TREMAIN" 

VERSE # 01:
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 # 02:
Save it from the storm, boys.
Water down its roots with tea,
And the sun will always shine
On the old Liberty Tree. 

VERSE # 03:
March along with the fifer, boys.
We were born forever free.
We will pay the piper, boys,
Beneath the Liberty Tree. 

VERSE # 04:
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 # 05:
Stand for the rights of man, boys.
Stand against all tyranny.
Hang the of light of freedom, boys,
High on the Liberty Tree. 

VERSE # 06:
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.
