A Toast To Washington
![]()
This song was written and composed by Francis Hopkinson.
‘Tis Washington’s health fill a bumper all round ~ For he is our glory and pride, ~ Our arms shall in battle with conquest be crown’d ~ Whilst virtue and he’s on our side.
Chorus: Shall in battle with conquest be crown’d ~ Whilst virtue and he’s on our side ~ And he’s on our side.
‘Tis Washington’s Health loud cannons should roar, ~ And trumpets the truth should proclaim, ~ There cannot be found search all the world o’er, ~ His equal in virtue and fame.
‘Tis Washington’s Health our Hero to bless; ~ May heaven look graciously down, ~ Oh long may he live our hearts to possess, ~ And freedom still call him her own.
