Join the Cry.

36

TUNE -- BLACK CAT.

Let the welcome summons fly,
Join the Scott and Graham cry,
Hear the mighty army shout,
Long and loud the name of Scott.

CHORUS -- Hurra for Winfield!
Hurra for Winfield!
Winfield must be President
Of these United States.
Up and down the plain and valley,
See the Whigs around us rally;
Winfield must be President
Of these United States.

O'er the lofty hills around,
Comes along the swelling sound,
Filling every pleasant dale,
Rolling over every vale.

CHORUS --

Men of toil and men of mind,
On their battle armor bind,

37

Patriot hearts rejoice to see
On their Banners, "Victory!"

CHORUS --

'Tis a band of noble Whigs,
Bound to give the Locos digs;
Join the army, strong and great --
Winfield drives the Car of State.

CHORUS --

Old Fogies slaughtered Cass and Buch.,
Sam and Douglass had bad luck --
They chose Frank Pierce, but we will lay him
In the shade of Scott and Graham.
