Uncle Sam’s Farm

Uncle Sam’s Farm
909

Of all the mighty nations
In the East or In the West
Oh this glorious Yankee nation
is the greatest and the best,
We have room for all creation,
And our banner la unfurled,
Here’s a general Invitation
To the people of the world

Chorus
Then come along, come along,
Make no delay: Come from every nation,
Come from every way
Our lands they are broad enough,
Don’t be alarmed
For Uncle Sam is rich enough
To give us all a farmu

St Lawrence marks our Northern line
As fast her waters flow,
And the Rio Grande our Southern bound
Way down to Mexico
From the great Atlantic ocean,
Where the sun begins to dawn,
Leap across the Rocky mountains
For away to Oregon

Chorus
While the South shall raise the cotton,
And the West the corn and pork
New England manufactories

shall de up the finer work:
For the deep and flowing waterfalls
That course along our hills
Are just the thing for washing sheep
And driving cotton milis

Chorus
Our fathers gave us liberty,
But little did they dream
The grand results that pour along
This mighty ace of steam,
For our mountains, Inkes, and rivera
Are all a blaze of fire
And we send our news by lightning
On the telegraphic wire
Chorus
Yes! we’re bound to heat the nations,
For our motto’s “Go ahead”
And we’ll tell the foreign paupers
That our people are well fed
For the nations must remember
Uncle Sam is not a fool,
For the people do the voting
And the children go to school
