No. 80. Good-bye, Old Party, Good-bye.

Tune

C. S. White.

1. It was no more than a year ago,
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.
That I was in love with my party so,
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.
To hear aught else I never would go;
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.
Like all the rest I made a great blow,
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.

Chorus.
Bye, party, bye, lo; bye, party, bye, lo;
Bye, party, bye, lo; good-bye, old party, good-bye.

2. I was often scourged with the party lash,
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.
The bosses laid on with demands for cash;
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.
To do aught else I deemed it rash,
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.
So I had to take it, or lose my hash,
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.

Chorus.

3. I was raised up in the kind of school,
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.
That taught to bow to money rule,
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.
And it made of me a "Kansas Fool,"
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.
When they found I was a willing tool,
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.

Chorus.

4. The old party is on the downward track,
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.
Picking his teeth with a tariff tack,
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.
With a placard pinned upon its back,
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.
That plainly states, "I will never come back,
Good-bye, old party, good-bye.

Chorus.
