'My Country, 'Tis of Thee' - American Patriotic Song [OLD RECORDING | LYRICS]

Now with English lyrics.

"Preserving history through music."

Pancm Archivum Musicum

America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee) is an American patriotic song, the lyrics of which were written by Samuel Francis Smith. The song served as one of the de facto national anthems of the United States (along with songs like "Hail, Columbia") before the adoption of "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the official U.S. national anthem in 1931. The melody used is the same as that of one of the de facto national anthems of the United Kingdom, "God Save the Queen".

I remember singing this song in 4th grade, the whole class…

[garythorington]

I wish this was our national anthem and I don't care if it's the same melody of God Save the King. I appreciate our British roots.

[jan_Soje]

This could pair really good with a creepy/unsettling aesthetic

[renler]

Praise the Lord, Praise our God, Trust in our Lord. Amen.

[AtlasGamingTX]

I learned this in 4th Grade and I still remember every single lyric

[NORTH_CAROLINA_REAPER]

This is my favorite version. Not the gaytriot high pitched white girl version. This is beautiful.

[JustaAmrican]

We decided to troll the British by copying their anthem's tune

[mastershake]

There is no excuse, no exception, for a true American.

[NYC_countryballs]

What’s the melody in the first 6 seconds

[Jamesstuart]

For freedoms Holy light Great God our King

[theindichorizon]

Seems like Brittania married Sammy boy and thus their little girl AMERICANA sang this in high school while having cheeseburger

[GuizinPE]

Looks like to much the German Empire Anthem "Heil dir im Siegerkranz"

[Bruinsfan]

It’s in god we trust not in rainbows we trust 🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸

[Kolious_Thrace]

Hahahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂
America’s former national anthem was a copy of the British national anthem!

This is sung exactly like how they sing *God save the Queen* in Britain 🇬🇧
Probably thy guy was immigrant from the UK and being familiar with this anthem wrote that…
