Liberty - By Marc Marais

LIBERTY

They told my great-grand daddy,
of this promised land across the sea,
so he packed his bags and took a ship
to the land of the Brave and the Free;
and when he saw Her standing there,
so tall and strong and true,
he knew that he'd arrived for sure
in the land of the Red, White and Blue.
Then, lifting up his head on high,
his heart so full of joy,
he sang this song for all to hear,
and I learned it as a boy.

Oh, Liberty, Oh Liberty,
You are my favorite gal,
and I love you like my mother dear
and as much as my sweetest Sal --
so here I swear I'll make my home
beneath you loving care,
and promise from this moment on
to return that love and honor you
as a true-blue American son.
