Original score

• Whence glows in each Columbian breast that flame
• Refulgent pow'r! whose gladsome ray
• Dear woods! beneath whose spreading bows
• At early dawn to rouse the chase
• When dark and cheerless is the sky
• Neer Or'noco's limpid stream
• For the deep sups of this liquor I swear
• Sweet simple maid dispel each fear
• See! the orb of night appears
• Pale chilly fear my heart assails
• Joy and mirth dispel, the pensive tears of grief
• Fury swells my aching soul
• From they dear brow that frown remove
• Soft peace, alas! from us is flown
• The sun sets in night and the stars shun the day
• Now let's forget each woe that's past
• Yes, he desen'd our warmest praise
• Oh Hero! sunk alas thy might
• You whose souls with virtue burn
• Indian maids your voices raise
• While we rear the standard high
• The Drama over't has been long the vogue

• Tammany, or, the Indian Chief (no note)
