Mohr | lyricist = Joe Goodwin }}"Liberty Bell (It's Time to Ring Again)" is a song from 1917 written during World War I. Joe Goodwin wrote the lyrics, and Halsey K. Mohr wrote the music. The song was published by Shapiro, Bernstein & Co. in New York City.[1][2] The lyrics to "Liberty Bell (It's Time to Ring Again)" resembles a call to action. The chorus repeats, Liberty Bell, It's time to ring again... Your voice is needed now; Liberty Bell... Though you're old and there's a crack in you, Don't forget Old Glory's backin' you[3] Through the song Goodwin and Mohr were able to point out that the purpose of World War I was to "defeat tyrants who wanted to stifle American freedom, that precious legacy bequeathed by the Revolutionary War."[4] The cover of the sheet music shows a woman, presumably Betsy Ross, mending a flag. A woman is helping her, while a man stands behind her. The Liberty Bell is above their heads. The song was written for voice and piano.[2][5] Recordings and commercial successIt was recorded by the Peerless Quartet[6] and Arthur Fields.[6] The musical score was reprinted four times.[6] The version sung by Arthur Fields and released by Columbia Records reached the number five spot on the US song charts.[7] References1. ^{{cite book |last=Vogel |first=Frederick G. |date=1995 |title=World War I Songs: A History and Dictionary of Popular American Patriotic Tunes, with over 300 Complete Lyrics |location=Jefferson |publisher=McFarland and Company, Inc. |page=204 |isbn=0-89950-952-5 }} 2. ^1 {{cite book |last=Parker |first=Bernard |date=2007 |title=World War I Sheet Music |volume=1 |location=Jefferson |publisher=McFarland & Company, Inc. |page=371 |isbn=978-0-7864-2798-7 }} 3. ^{{cite book |last=Vogel |first=Frederick G. |date=1995 |title=World War I Songs: A History and Dictionary of Popular American Patriotic Tunes, with over 300 Complete Lyrics |location=Jefferson |publisher=McFarland and Company, Inc. |page=338 |isbn=0-89950-952-5 }} 4. ^{{cite book |last=Vogel |first=Frederick G. |date=1995 |title=World War I Songs: A History and Dictionary of Popular American Patriotic Tunes, with over 300 Complete Lyrics |location=Jefferson |publisher=McFarland and Company, Inc. |page=70 |isbn=0-89950-952-5 }} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.pritzkermilitary.org/explore/library/online-catalog/view/oclc/70687910 |title=Liberty Bell; it's time to ring again |website=pritzkermilitary.org |access-date=12 February 2015}} 6. ^1 2 Paas, John Roger (2014).
