In Boston Town stood The Liberty Tree
Under its branches men swore to be free
In Boston Harbour they dumped all the tea
Cried, “Liberty Justice & Freedom”
Patriots all and until by thrall
Swore to defy and never to fall
Under the Elm tree they answered the call
Cried, “Liberty Freedom & Justice”
Chorus:
The Liberty Tree The Liberty Tree
It stands there for you and it stands there for me
If it should fall - unhappy we’d be
We owe it all to The Liberty Tree
Pledged in alliance a small gallant band
Flames of defiance with unity fanned
East to the West and out over the land
Cried, “Liberty Justice & Freedom.”
Hard hearts of oak in defence of the crown
Sought to revoke the protests of the town
Tree was a beacon and lanterns hung down
Crying, “Liberty , Freedom & Justice”
Chorus:
Where there’s a need and the people aren’t free
Forced by some tyrant to bend at the knee
Hands of salvation will join round a tree
Cry, “Liberty Justice & Freedom.”
Patriots all wherever you be
Always stand tall like The Liberty Tree
Under its branches then swear to agree
Cry, “Liberty Freedom & Justice”.
