Lyrics
We were born free men,
We’ll be free until we die,
There’ll be none to tell us when,
There’ll be none to tell us why,
We will live the way we choose,
And we’ll talk the way we please,
Freedom’s earth will have our shoes,
And God alone will have our knees.
There are some that kiss the red,
There are some that hug the rope,
We have put our trust in God,
And in man we’ve put our hope,
And we’ll keep our powder dry,
And we’ll keep our rifles clean,
And we’ll teach them how to die
If they touch the thing we mean.
We have heard the cowards speak,
We have heard the traitors shout,
The gang who’d keep us weak,
Thegang who’d sell us out,
But our sons shall live as we,
And our land be proud again,
We will keep the future free,
We are free born men.
