Campaign of '48.

By a Lady.
AIR — Old Dan Tucker.

Ye Whigs who won for Harrison,
And ye who bravely fought for Clay
Arrange your forces and unite,
For him who conquered Monterey —
If your hearts are firm, and aims are steady,
You'll win the fight for "Rough and Ready."
If your hearts are firm, and aims are steady.
You'll win the fight for "Rough and Ready."

See where, on Palo Alto's heights,
The Hero brave undaunted stands,
For good, our country's Stars and Stripes,
Were trusted to his faithful hands —
He won that field — his arm was steady,
'Twill always be — with "Rough and Ready."
He won that field — his arm was steady,
T'will always be — with "Rough and Ready."

And when beneath the towering palms,
Fearless again he pitched his tent,
The Mexicans with flashing arms,
Came — All their thoughts on vengeance bent —
Again he won — his arm was steady,
That all should yield to "Rough and Ready."

And on that scene of bright "look out"
With fairest prospect toward the sea,
Who caused t'ascend that thrilling about,
But the bravest brave, Old Zachary!
His heart was firm — his arm was steady,
Nothing could daunt old "Rough and Ready."

Then trust him with the Ship of State,
He'll ever have its good in view,
And through dark perils may await,
Will bring it safe to harbor too.
Support him well — old "Rough and Ready,"
Be true ye whigs — be firm and steady.
