wn South” they seem to think we are Divided in opinion, And that they'll have an easy task To conquer a dominion. They'll find out, though, p'raps to their cost, In forming such conclusions, They've reckoned there without their host,-- Their facts were but delusions. Chorus--Brother Britons, keep it up, &c. They say there's black sheep in our fold, And traitors in the city; We don't believe it, though we're told;-- If 'tis so, more's the pity. We'll hold ourselves in readiness To paint their black skins white, sirs, Or else make good large apertures That will let in the light, sirs. Chorus--Brother Britons, keep it up, &c. And if to Bunker Hill they come, To call their rolls of slaves, sirs, They'll make it their perpetual home In mighty pleasant graves, sirs. Old England and New England's sons Are bound as loving brothers; Both hearts and hands, their swords and guns, Alike are one another's. Chorus--Brother Britons, keep it up, &c. Boston, April 24, 1861. --Boston Transcript
