Testo Hail Columbia!

Tho' mine eyes are seeing double

And my powder horn is drunk

Another public house a puddle

Where the bones and barrels sunk
And my left leg isn't working

As the barkeep fills with mud

And the bison head is smirking

Barley, liberty, and blood

Barley, liberty, and blood


O Mother Columbia!

Take us in your breast
Thy blinding scarlet stars

Ever spilling West

O Mother Columbia!

Snow is red and wet

Where's the goddamn bar?

There's killing in me yet


Tho' mine eyes are seeing double

And my powder horn is drunk

Another public house a puddle

Where the bones and barrels sunk

And my left leg isn't working

As the barkeep fills with mud

And the bison head is smirking

Barley, liberty, and blood

Barley, liberty, and blood


O Mother Columbia!

Take us in your breast

Thy blinding scarlet stars

Ever spilling West

O Mother Columbia!

Snow is red and wet

Where's the goddamn bar?

There's killing in me yet


Tho' mine eyes are seeing double

And my powder horn is drunk

Another public house a puddle

Where the bones and barrels sunk

And my left leg isn't working

As the barkeep fills with mud

And the bison head is smirking

Barley, liberty, and blood

Barley, liberty, and blood


O Mother Columbia!

Take us in your breast

Thy blinding scarlet stars

Ever spilling West

O Mother Columbia!

Snow is red and wet

Where's the goddamn bar?

Where's the goddamn bar?


O Mother Columbia!

Take us in your breast

Thy blinding scarlet stars

Ever spilling West

O Mother Columbia!

Snow is red and wet

Where's the goddamn bar?

There's killing in me yet
