A Shout for the Hero!

99

Tune — "Washington's March."

A SHOUT for the hero! a shout for the chief!
Who comes from the west to the people's relief!
He will rout the oppressors — the tyrants who stand
With their feet on the necks of the men of the land!
'Tis in vain they would fly when the people pursue;
Whose word is their country and Tippecanoe!
Tippecanoe, Tippecanoe,
God bless the Old Hero of Tippecanoe.

The spoilers are shrieking in sorrow and shame,
At the wrath of the people, that burns like a flame!
Let them weep if they will, there is pleasure in tears!
It is joy to the people, relieved from their fears;
But tremble and flee to your coverts, ye crew!
Who have dared to asperse our Old Tippecanoe!
Tippecanoe, Tippecanoe,
God bless the Old Hero of Tippecanoe.

Three cheers for the chieftain! three cheers for the cause!
Three cheers for our country, her freedom and laws!
A shout for the Eagle! Bow hearts and bend knees!
For the bird of our fathers, who rides on the breeze!
Whose voice is abroad in the stirring hallo!
Hurra for the Hero of Tippecanoe!
Tippecanoe, Tippecanoe,
God bless the Old Hero of Tippecanoe.
