1.
Let tyrants and slaves submissively tremble
And bow down necks 'neath the juggernaut car;
But brave men will rise in the strength of a nation,
And cry give me freedom
Or else give me my war.

CHORUS [sung after every verse]
Farewell forever the Star spangled banner
No longer shall wave o'er the land of the free,
But we'll unfurl to the broad breeze of Heaven
Thirteen bright stars round the Palmetto tree.

2.
We honor, yes honor, bold South Carolina,
  Though small she may be, she's as brave as the best
With flag-ship of State, she's out on the ocean
  Buffetting the waves of a dark billow's crest.

3.
We honor, yes honor, our seceding Sisters
  We launched this brave bark alone on the sea,
Though storms may howl and thunder distraction,
  We'll hurl to the blast the proud Palmetto tree.

4.
And when to the confict the others cry onward,
  Virginia will be first to rush to the fight,
She'll break down the iceburg of Northern coercion,
  And rise in her glory of Freedom and right.

5.
When the fifteen Sisters in bright constellation,
  Shall dazzling shine in a nation's emblem sky;
With no hands to oppose, nor foes to oppress them,
  They will shine there forever, a light to every eye.
