| | | SONS of heathered hills of freedom, | |
| Rax the Queen’s Arms off the wall, | |
| Set your caps, and fill your muskets, | |
| At the country’s call. | |
| |
| Take the mattock from the garden, | 5 |
| And the hay-fork from the byre, | |
| And shoulder, port, present them | |
| To the Regimentals’ fire. | |
| |
| Set the blazing flag of Freedom | |
| A-flutter in your van, | 10 |
| And sing the song of brotherhood, | |
| The brotherhood of man. | |
| |
| Fraternity, equality, | |
| Be all your glowing song, | |
| As by the farm-house windows | 15 |
| Your dead men tramp along. | | | | |
