Lover Her Or Leave Her!
America
Princess of providence
Daughter of Divine
Wrought in fury
Wrest from rift
Framed for freedom
Paradise of prospectors:
pioneers and patriots,
profiteers and pimps
O spring of freedom,
may you never run dry
O river of prosperity,
may your tide never ebb
You, who seek her,
see her as you ought;
a mirror of virtue and truth,
no whore to waltz
Enter her gates,
you, who yearn for freedom,
her bosom awaits your embrace
Drink from her fountain,
wayfarers are welcome,
sojourners are safe
For the freedom she offers,
fidelity she requires
So love her or leave her
