Ho! ye men of every station, Join with us for Reformation, And for Freedom for the Nation— We’re for Freedom and Reform. We’re a band of freemen, We’re a band of freemen, We’re a band of freemen, We’re for Freedom and Reform. On the “sacred side” forever, We’ll sustain “oppression” never, But we’ll fight for “justice” ever— We’re for Freedom and Reform. We’ll dry up disunion screechers, And wipe out the slave-code teachers, And cashier the slave-trade preachers— We’re for Freedom and Reform. We will oust the treasury robbers, And the host of hireling fobbers, And the horde of “live-oak jobbers”— We’re for Freedom and Reform. With “Old Abe” to go before us, And the flag of Freedom o’er us, We will shout the sounding chorus— We’re for Freedom and Reform. |
