Harriet, Barbara and Mary By -- Harriet, Barbara, and Mary, Three heroes of the eastern plains, Each doing their part, In what they see right, In which we see them as heroes today. Harriet Tubman, a runaway slave, Always came back to save another each day, Risked her life for her fellow race, -- Barbara Frietchie, an old northern woman, Stood up against the south with brave flying colors, In which she waved our flag, The symbol of our freedom, -- A lady who ate a mushroom, Mary be thy name, Caring for the children, In case of death that day, -- All these honorable heroes, Not forgotten to this day, Never to be forgotten, Because they did the right thing.
