My Dream Of The U.S.A. 1908

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 31 Aug 2005

A soldier in camp lay dreaming,
dreaming of his native land,
he saw her noble statesmen
and bloodstained heroes grand;
he saw her soldiers and sailors
and the boys in Blue and Grey;
at dawn unto her comrades,
these words I heard him say:

I saw Washington cross the Delaware,
I saw Stark 'mid Mountains Green;
I saw Warren fight at Bunker Hill,
Andrew Jackson at New Orleans;
I saw Davy Crockett at the Alamo,
Taylor fight at Monterey,
and they all fought for our liberty,
in my dream of the U.S.A.

I saw Washington cross the Delaware,
I saw Stark 'mid Mountains Green;
I saw Warren fight at Bunker Hill,
Andrew Jackson at New Orleans;
I saw Davy Crockett at the Alamo,
Taylor fight at Monterey,
and they all fought for our liberty,
in my dream of the U.S.A.

At Plymouth he saw the landing
of the gallant Pilgrim band,
he heard a bell ring liberty
and freedom thro' the land;
o'er battlefields he wandered,
where her heroes fought and fell;
then turning to his comrades,
these words I heard him tell:

I saw Washington cross the Delaware,
I saw Stark 'mid Mountains Green;
I saw Warren fight at Bunker Hill,
Andrew Jackson at New Orleans;
I saw Davy Crockett at the Alamo,
Taylor fight at Monterey,
and they all fought for our liberty,
in my dream of the U.S.A.

I saw Washington cross the Delaware,
I saw Stark 'mid Mountains Green;
I saw Warren fight at Bunker Hill,
Andrew Jackson at New Orleans;
I saw Davy Crockett at the Alamo,
Taylor fight at Monterey,
and they all fought for our liberty,
in my dream of the U.S.A.
