Clear the Track.

AIR — Lucy Neal.

Huzza my boys, the time draws near
When Jemmy must retire;
Then who to fill the vacant chair,
Shall with success aspire?
So Jemmy clear the track —
Clear away the track.
For the man who conquered Mexico —
So Jemmy clear the track.

The man who conquered Mexico —
Old Rough and Ready Zack —
Will be our President we know,
So Jemmy clear the track.
Clear away the track.
Clear away the track,
For the man who conquered Mexico,
So Jemmy clear the track.

His country's call he will obey —
His country's good his pride;
Victorious in the battle fray,
With mercy at his side.
So Jemmy clear the track,
Clear away the track,
For Taylor is the people's choice,
So Jemmy clear the track.

No selfish schema, no bowls of soup —
To duty ever steady,
His soul to meanness ne'er can stoop,
Brave Taylor Rough and Ready.
So Jemmy clear the track,
Clear away the track,
For Taylor is the peoples' choice,
So Jemmy clear the track.
