O, Land off the Free by the Carib Sea,
- Our manhood we pledge to thy liberty!

Natural has blessed thee with wealth untold,
- O' er mountains and valleys where meadows roll;
- Our fathers, the Baymen, valiant and bold
- Drove back the invader; this heritage hold
- From proud Rio Hondo to old Sarstoon,
- Through coral isle, over blue lagoon;
- Keep watch with the angels, the stars and moon;
- For freedom comes tomorrow' S noon.

Arise! ye sounds off the Baymen' S clan,
- Could one your armor, clear the Land!
- Drive back the tyrants, let despots flee -
- Land off the Free by the Carib Sea!
- Could one your armor, clear the Land!
