词曲
词作者阿尔伯特·甘姆斯（Albert Gamse）；曲作者詹姆士·山德森（James Sanderson）:
- Hail to the Chief we have chosen for the nation,
- Hail to the Chief! We salute him, one and all.
- Hail to the Chief, as we pledge cooperation
- In proud fulfillment of a great, noble call.
- Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander,
- This you will do, that's our strong, firm belief.
- Hail to the one we selected as commander,
- Hail to the President! Hail to the Chief!
The original lyrics, written by Sir Walter Scott, read:
- Hail to the chief, who in triumph advances,
- Honored and bless'd be the evergreen pine!
- Long may the tree in his banner that glances,
- Flourish, the shelter and grace of our line.
- Heav'n send it happy dew,
- Earth lend it sap anew,
- Gaily to bourgeon and broadly to grow;
- While ev'ry highland glen,
- Sends our shout back again,
- "Roderigh Vich Alpine dhu, ho! i-e-roe!"
- Ours is no sapling, chance-sown by the fountain,
- Blooming at Beltane, in winter to fade;
- When the whirlwind has stripp'd ev'ry leaf on the mountain,
- The more shall Clan Alpine exult in her shade.
- Moor'd in the lifted rock,
- Proof to the tempest shock,
- Firmer he roots him, the ruder it blow;
- Menteith and Breadalbane, then,
- Echo his praise again,
- "Roderigh Vich alpine dhu, ho! i-e-roe!"
- Row, vassals, row for the pride of the Highlands!
- Stretch to your oars for the evergreen pine!
- Oh, that the rosebud that graces yon islands,
- Were wreath'd in a garland around him to twine!
- O, that some seedling gem,
- Worthy such noble stem,
- Honor'd and bless'd in their shadow might grow!
- Loud should Clan Alpine then,
- Ring from her deepmost glen,
- "Roderigh Vich Alpine dhu, ho! i-e-roe!"
