THE LIBERTY TREE

(Tom Blackburn & George Bruns, 1956)

(From the Disney film "Johnny Tremain")

Plant the seed in our homeland, boys.

Let it grow where all can see.

Feed it with our devotion, boys.

Call it the Liberty Tree.

CHORUS: It's a tall old tree and a strong old tree,

And we are the Sons, yes, we are the Sons, the Sons of Liberty.

Save it from the storm, boys.

Water down its roots with tea;

And the sun will always shine

On the old Liberty Tree. CHORUS

March along with the piper, boys.

We were born forever free.

We will pay the piper, boys,

Beneath the Liberty Tree. CHORUS

Pay the price they're asking, boys,

Always pay the tyrant's fee.

Never give up the struggle, boys,

Fight for the Liberty Tree. CHORUS

Stand for the rights of man, boys.

Stand against all tyranny.

Hang the of light of freedom, boys,

High on the Liberty Tree. CHORUS

It will grow as we grow, boys.

It will be as strong as we.

We must cling to our faith, boys,

Faith in the Liberty Tree. CHORUS

What is different from the movie of johnny tremain from the book?

The movie adaptation of "Johnny Tremain" differs from the book primarily in its simplification of characters and events. While the book delves deeper into the complexities of the American Revolution and Johnny's personal growth, the film streamlines the narrative, focusing more on action and less on character development. Additionally, some characters and subplots are omitted or altered for cinematic pacing, which changes the overall tone and depth of the story.


Was the movie Johnny Tremain a realistic portrayal of the Revolutionary War?

The movie "Johnny Tremain," based on the novel by Esther Forbes, offers a dramatized depiction of the American Revolutionary War, focusing on the experiences of a young apprentice in Boston. While it incorporates real historical events and figures, such as Paul Revere and the Sons of Liberty, some aspects are simplified or altered for narrative purposes. Overall, it captures the spirit of the era but may not fully convey the complexities and realities of the war. Thus, while it provides a glimpse into the Revolutionary War, it should not be viewed as a strictly accurate historical account.


Was Johnny Tremain a real person?

How old is the oldest folk song?

In the United States, many date from, or antedate the Civil War. ( Dixie) When Johnny comes marching home...) Some like Yankee Doodle- from the revolution. Oddly few serious patriotic songs from the Revolutionary period survive- it is known that ( Follow the Liberty Tree) from the movie Johnny Tremain was made-up for the occasion, though a Liberty Tree did exist.

What are some American Revolutionary War movies?

Surprisingly, there have been very few. One notable exception was Johnny Tremain, which dealt with a sort of junior-grade Paul Revere type ( Revere is in the film- as I recall- and there are unusual Patriot songs- some of which were written for the movie)- that has a Revolutionary war setting. Johnny Tremain was produced by Disney productions. the song ( Follow the Liberty tree) is synthetic- though the Sons of Liberty organization was real. The Patriot, about Colonial officer Francis Marion ( who was also known as the Swamp Fox) was a more recent l776-era combat film.
