THE TRUE SPIRIT.
Come all ye true friends of your Nation,
Awake from stupidity's grave,
Come join in your country's salvation,
And free the American slave.
Awake from stupidity's grave,
Come join in your country's salvation,
And free the American slave.
Come all of you half hearted freemen,
Your honesty now is at stake,
While over the slave you are dreaming,
Your government's standard will break.
Your honesty now is at stake,
While over the slave you are dreaming,
Your government's standard will break.

We wish not to sever the Union,
But rather in love to unite;
We hold not from our communion,
No man who will strive to do right.
But rather in love to unite;
We hold not from our communion,
No man who will strive to do right.
We loathe the bare name of man-stealing,
And all who will aid in its cause
And we are intent on repealing
That outrageous Fugitive Law.
And all who will aid in its cause
And we are intent on repealing
That outrageous Fugitive Law.
We'll sacrifice time and our money,
And life, too, if it is required,
While the blood of our brethren is running,
We'll flinch not nor even grow tired.
And life, too, if it is required,
While the blood of our brethren is running,
We'll flinch not nor even grow tired.
