ANNIVERSARY.
The morning is breaking,
And daylight appears—
And daylight appears;
And Freemen are waking
With many loud cheers—
With many loud cheers.
Come, freemen, sing with me,
Merrily—merrily—
Come, freemen, sing with me,
Happy, happy day.
And daylight appears—
And daylight appears;
And Freemen are waking
With many loud cheers—
With many loud cheers.
Come, freemen, sing with me,
Merrily—merrily—
Come, freemen, sing with me,
Happy, happy day.
Sweet music is swelling,
It floats on the breeze—
It floats on the breeze,
As daylight is smiling
O'er land and the seas—
O'er land and the seas:
Come, freemen, join with me,
Merrily—merrily—
Come, freemen, join with me,
Merry, merry day.
It floats on the breeze—
19
As daylight is smiling
O'er land and the seas—
O'er land and the seas:
Come, freemen, join with me,
Merrily—merrily—
Come, freemen, join with me,
Merry, merry day.
The sons of Jamaica,
Are now on their way—
Are now on their way,
While daylight is breaking,
To join in the lay—
To join in the lay;
Come, freemen, join with me,
Cheerily—cheerily,
Come, freemen, join with me,
Sing a merry lay.
Are now on their way—
Are now on their way,
While daylight is breaking,
To join in the lay—
To join in the lay;
Come, freemen, join with me,
Cheerily—cheerily,
Come, freemen, join with me,
Sing a merry lay.
Sound ye the trumpet
From mountain to sea—
From mountain to sea.
From daylight 'till sunset.
We'll keep up the glee—
We'll keep up the glee.
Sing, freemen, sing with me,
Cheerily—cheerily,
Sing, freemen, sing with me,
Happy, happy day.
From mountain to sea—
From mountain to sea.
From daylight 'till sunset.
We'll keep up the glee—
We'll keep up the glee.
Sing, freemen, sing with me,
Cheerily—cheerily,
Sing, freemen, sing with me,
Happy, happy day.
