Of all the mighty nations in the east or in the west
Oh, this glorious yankee nation is the greatest and the best
We have room for all creation, and our banner is unfurl'd
Here's a gen'ral invitation to the people of the world

Then come along, come along, make no delay
Come from ev'ry nation, come from ev'ry way
Our lands, they are broad enough don't be alarmed
For Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us all a farm

St. Lawrence marks our Northern line as fast her waters flow
And the Rio Grande our Southern bound, 'way down to Mexico
From the great Atlantic Ocean where the sun begins to dawn
Leap across the Rocky mountains far away to Oregon

Then come along, come along, make no delay
Come from ev'ry nation, come from ev'ry way
Our lands, they are broad enough don't be alarmed
For Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us all a farm

While the South shall raise the cotton and the West, the corn and pork
New England Manufactories shall do up the finer work
For the deep and flowing waterfalls that course along our hills
Are just the thing for washing sheep and driving cotton mills

Then come along, come along, make no delay
Come from ev'ry nation, come from ev'ry way
Our lands, they are broad enough don't be alarmed
For Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us all a farm

Our father's gave us Liberty, but little did they dream
The grand results that pour along this mighty age of Steam
For our mountains, lakes and rivers are all a blaze of fire
And we send our news by lightning on the telegraphic wires

Then come along, come along, make no delay
Come from ev'ry nation, come from ev'ry way
Our lands, they are broad enough don't be alarmed
For Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us all a farm

Yes! we're bound to beat the nations for our motto's "Go ahead"
And we'll tell the foreign paupers that our people are well fed
For the nations must remember that Uncle Sam is not a fool
For the people do the voting and the children go to school

Then come along, come along, make no delay
Come from ev'ry nation, come from ev'ry way
Our lands, they are broad enough don't be alarmed
For Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us all a farm
