American Old Time Song Lyrics: 37 The United States Of America

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 37

The United States of America.
Written by John Jones.

Let all foreigners boast of the land of their birth,
I'll sing of the country that I love the best;
'Tis enshrined in my heart as the fairest on earth;
It lies where the sun slowly sinks, in the West.
I love the broad mountains and valleys so green,
Where Columbia, our Godess, she rules as their queen;
Where the stars and the stripes floating proudly are seen;
'Tis the United States of America.

Chorus.
We're a nation that's honest, good-hearted and free;
We're brave and unconquered on land and on sea;
We're loyal and faithful, and ever will be,
In the United States of America.

Our soldiers and sailors are willing and brave;
Our inventors and workmen unequaled for skill;
Our statesmen and judges as stern as the grave
When they have an unpleasant task to fulfil.
Our matrons and daughters are virtuous and fair.
Graceful and slender, there's none can compare;
There smile throws a beam of sunshine everywhere
In the United States of America.- Chorus.

So, long may prosperity rule o'er our land,
And long may her sons remain faithful and true.
While honor And justice together does stand,
Then virtue will get what its honestly due.
long may the star-spangled banner float high
O'er our cities and towns-let her wave in the sky;
And may peace ever reign, as the years they roll by,
In the United States of America.- Chorus.
