Up the Hudson.

Song and Chorus.     Up the Hudson!--Fleetly gliding         To our haunts among the trees!     Joy the gallant vessel guiding         With a fresh and cheerful breeze!     Wives and dear ones yearn to meet us--         (Hearts that love us to the core!)     And with fond expressions greet us         As we near the welcome shore!     Chorus.     Ho! ye inland seas and islands!--         (Echo follows where we go!)     Ho! ye headlands, hills, and highlands!         Ho! ye Undercliffeans, ho!     Up the Hudson!--Rock and river,         Grove and glen pronounce His praise,     Who, of every "Good the Giver,"         Leads us through these pleasant ways!--     Care recedes like water-traces         Of our bark, as on we glide,     Where the hand of nature graces         Homesteads on the Hudson side!     Chorus.     Ho! ye inland seas and islands!--         (Echo follows where we go!)     Ho! ye headlands, hills, and highlands!         Ho! ye Undercliffeans, ho!
