- A loving musical tribute of that special day composed by the late Tom W. Blackburn and George Bruns who also wrote The Ballad of Davy Crockett, also for Walt Disney. This tune is property entitled The Liberty Tree.
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
Forever a Patriotic classic!!
Wonderful to see now celebrating 250 years. May this Spirit not be forgotten.
I taught The Liberty Tree to my intermediate boys. We were doing a program called I Hear America Singing.
LOVE THIS AND MOVIES
I'm surprised that the British admiral is taking it so well.
Just remember, April 19, 2025 will be the 250th anniversary of the beginning of the American Revolutionary War.
I have the dvd and i like it. But most people do not realize that this was not a small little band. There were 7,000 people who participated in the boston tea party. A few weeks later there was another tea party in charleston harbor that involved around 700 participants.
Somebody was pulling your leg about 7000 people...
@@mollesjohn not at all. Just history.
@@billieunderwood8303 Okay... you actually think you can put 7000 people aboard a ship... oh, and throw the tea into the bay... sure, or course, that's the ticket...
Not all 7000 boarded the ships. Don't be ridiculous to prove your lack of understanding.
@@billieunderwood8303 I'm glad you've done your mea culpa. Obviously the 7000 you speak of did not and couldn't possibly have PARTICIPATED in the Boston Tea Party as you previously claimed. We all say really stupid things sometimes, but yours was a gem!
I remember seeing this in 8th Grade Social Studies. Memories
I saw it in 5th grade during social studies
@@Magulousmous me too in fifth grade at van deene elementary school room twenty-six mrs pacheco’s class
One of the women seen in here was Walt Disney's adopted daughter, Sharon Mae (Dorcas).
Disney personnel knew how to do it all, especially the music. Personally, I love this movie. I own the DVD.
This is my favorite movie, I own the poster, dvd and vhs!
I deeply love my country too. Two other Disney favorites of mine are Robin Hood and his Merrie Men (not animated) and Third Man on the Mountain.
mine too
“Shun The Detested Beverage And let NONE Be Landed On These Shores.”
I never heard of a tea box until two days ago. My brother explained what it was, but I have yet to do an image search on Google for one.
Ships laden with English tea are now bound for this port; shun the detested beverage and let none be landed on these shores- for I am also a Johnny Tremain fan too!

Sammy Adams leading the parade!
The lyrics can get stuck in your head. :p
They have been for me, for six years now.
@@jonathanwells223 almost two years!
I remember this From Film Class
Deaddy Fazpool I have that class now, let me know if you're interested in helping me cheat.

@@jonathanwells223 Right hand side. Look at the first windows.
HAPPY 250TH ANVERSRY
Then you're a better man than I am Gunga Din! LOL
I really do like this tune and lyrics, but I can't quite get my head around everyone spontaneously yet flawlessly singing verse after verse, never hesitating on a single word. Do you think it was Disney or do you think this is historically accurate? :D
Don't get me wrong. I put this up because I do think principles are more important than particulars, something Walt Disney well understood. Check out the movie, especially James Otis's speech.
A few observations concerning this film clip:
I doubt that the men involved in the real Boston Tea Party would have been parading and singing in the streets after they were through dumping the tea into the harbor. I would imagine they would have tried to get back to their homes as quickly as possible before anyone hostile to their cause would have recognized them.
With all those lanterns on it, that "Liberty Tree" looked almost like a Christmas tree.
That old man in the black coat looking out the window and singing along with the others at 1:47-1:50 looked like an actor (his name I don't recall) who appeared in a couple of episodes of "The Twilight Zone." One story, entitled "A Piano In The House," was about a cruel theater critic (Barry Morse, who also played Lieutenant Gerard on "The Fugitive") who buys his wife a player piano for her birthday and finds out that the instrument has the magical power to reveal people's inner selves. The old actor I just mentioned played the critic's butler, who's usually very solemn looking, but when the piano is played, he suddenly bursts out into gales of laughter. In the other episode, called "A Penny For Your Thoughts," Dick York (who we all remember as Darrin Stevens on "Bewitched") plays a bank teller who, after tossing a penny while paying for a newspaper and somehow making it stand on its edge, suddenly gains the power to hear the private thoughts of others. Here, the old actor plays a long time employee of the bank who constantly thinks about stealing money from the vault and using it to take a long vacation. The bank teller hears the man's thoughts and reports him to the President of the bank. However, all the President finds in the old man's briefcase are his lunch and a few travel folders. It turns out that the man's thoughts about stealing from his own employer's bank are all simply recurring fantasies that the old man occasionally has, but never goes through with because, as he explains to the teller, he's too old and "too set in my ways." In the end, the teller uses his ability to hear people's thoughts to blackmail his boss, whose thoughts about a weekend fling with a woman who is not his wife had been overheard by the teller, into giving the old employee a raise-and a vacation!
I do believe they were celebrating in a similar manner after the tea was dumped.
Yes, everyone knows this. This scene only exists because Disney has a music fetish.
@@jonathanwells223
Hey, come on, it's not a fetish! It's not like Disney was getting an orgasm from it or something (at least, I don't think so).
If memory serves they did March to the liberty tree after the harbor. Whether or not they singing i don’t recall but it wouldn’t be beyond the realm of possibility. Remember that tácteis point there are many who are complacent in their action and they know they aren’t in immediate danger. Nothing was going to happen that night.
