American Old Time Song Lyrics: 59 Viva Lamerica
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 59
VIVA L'AMERICA.
Words and Music by H. Millard.
Noble Republic! happiest of lands,
Foremost of nations Columbia standsĀFreedom's proud banner floats in the skies.
Where shouts of liberty dally arise.
"United we stand, divided we fall."
Union forever-freedom to all.
Chorus.
Throughout the world our motto shall be-
Viva L'America, home of the free!
Should ever traitor rise in the land,
Curs'd be his homestead, wither'd his hand;
Shame be his mem'ry, scorn be his lot.
Exile his heritage, his name a blot!
"United we stand, divided we fall."
Granting a home and freedom to all.-Chorus.
To all her heroes-Justice and Fame,
To all her foes, a traitor's foul name;
Our Stars and Stripes still proudly shall wave,
Emblem or Liberty, flag or the brave.
"United we stand, divided we fall,"
Gladly we'll die at our country's call.-Chorus.
