the day of liberties coming coming
almost gone the gloomy night
the day of Liberty's coming.

The day of liberty's coming, coming
We will fight and die for us
The day of liberty's coming

Yes, yes, we'll fight and sing
Loud, loud our voices ring
E

Soon, soon the mighty king
Will let his people go

Oh, just you look and see that light
The day of liberty's coming, coming
Now we'll help the Yankees fight
The day of liberty's coming
Oh, the Lord will bring it right
The day of liberty's coming,
From this dreadful bloody fight
The day of liberty's coming
Shout, everyone shout and sing aloud
Let your voices ring
Soon, soon the mighty king
A
Just you look and see that light
The day of liberty's coming, coming
Yes, the Lord will bring it right
The day of liberty's coming
It was a long weary night
A
That the future was more than he knew
It was a long weary night,
E
A
but the morning is near
There are tokens in endless array.
E
A
For when the storm
which has seemingly banished the dawn
E
A
only hastens the advent of day.
Just you look and see that light,
the day of liberty's coming, coming,
yes the Lord will bring it right,
the day of liberty's coming.
