Your native coast
Has much to boast
    Of glorious name;
Both ancient lore
And modern store
    Uphold its fame.

Your'e proud, I fear,
In Boston, dear;
    I wish you would
Just come and share
Our country fare,
    T' would do you good.

Our rustic ways
And boisterous plays
    Perhaps might fright you;
But the sweet birds
And lambs, and herds
    Must sure delight you.
