The Hero of the Day.

29

AIR -- NELLY WAS A LADY.

Our flag in Mexico was streaming,
Onward our army held its way;
There, while the stars and stripes were gleaming,
SCOTT was the hero of the day.

CHORUS -- Scott, the valiant hero,
In war well tried --
Raise the flame for Scott and Graham,
The nation's choice and pride.

30

Rally, Whigs -- confer the honor
Due to the valor of your choice,
Bear aloft the unsullied banner,
And for the chieftain raise a voice.

CHORUS -- Scott, the valiant hero, &c.

Scott is the glory of the nation,
The White-House glitters in his sight;
Join, Whigs -- support the nomination,
Stand for the Union and the Right.

CHORUS -- Scott, the valiant hero, &c.

In battle he never was defeated,
His fame is more than ever fair;
Success attend him until seated
Safe in the Presidential chair.

CHORUS -- Scott, the valiant hero, &c.
