1. Don't you hear the bankers,
Squealing over yonder,
Where the grand old parties congregate,
But never you be frightened —
They have lost their power,
And the Alliance, now, will seal their fate.

CHORUS.
Look out there now!
We are going to vote!
Look out there; don't you understand;
The Alliances are coming!
The Alliances are coming!
They are going to occupy the land.

2. Away out on the prairie,
In the state of Kansas;
That is where they raise the corn and wheat;
But the festive mortgage —
Robbed them of their earnings;
And it left them scarce enough to eat.

Chorus.

3. Don't you see the people,
Rising over yonder,
Like they're going to have a jubilee;
But they are only going —
To the Alliance meeting,
That will shortly make them rich and free.

Chorus.

4. It is the trusts we're fighting,
And they begin to tremble,
They see us organize the land;
So they cuss the farmers,
And they call them traitors,
Because we raise them to a warning hand.

Chorus.
