歌词

[00:12] We leave our pleasant homesteads
[00:16] We leave our smiling farms
[00:21] At the first call of duty
[00:26] We rush at once to arms
[00:31] We rush at once to arms
[00:36] To guard our coasts we fly
[00:40] For the land our mothers lived on
[00:45] Bravely to bleed or die
[01:00] Up boys and quit your pleasure
[01:04.600] Up men and quit your toil
[01:09.400] The invaders foot must never
[01:13.300] Be pressed upon our soil
[01:19] Be pressed upon our soil
[01:24] In which our fathers sleep
[01:28] Their blessed graves our care boys
[01:32.400] Oh, sacredly must keep
[01:47] Twas in our brave old state men
[01:51.600] That first the law was sung
[01:56.850] The thrilling song of freedom
[02:01] That through the land hath rung
[02:06] That through the land hath rung
[02:11] And will sound its notes once more
[02:15] Till our men and children shout
[02:20] From the mountain to the shore
[03:03.400] Sweet eyes are filled with tears, men
[03:07.550] Sweet tears of love and pride
[03:13] As our wives and sweethearts bid us
[03:17] Go meet whater betide
[03:22.550] Go meet whater betide
[03:27.450] And God our guide shall be
[03:31.650] As we drive the foe before us
[03:36.720] And we rush to victory
