Scott Eagle Song.

18

AIR -- WHITE COCKADE.

Oh, a peerless bird is the Whigs' delight,
The soaring Eagle, strong and bright --
With a glittering wing he sweeps the sky,
Bearing the flag of SCOTT on high!
Oh, he's the bird of victory!
Oh, he's the bird of victory!
With a glittering wing he sweeps the sky,
Bearing the flag of SCOTT on high.

On the waving top of the emblem ash,
Behold his glorious pinions flash --
With joy we greet his radiant form,
Riding aloft through calm and storm!
Oh, he's the bird of victory, &c.

His glance is keen and his heart is true --
He loves the tint of the Jersey Blue;
From the Old North State his buckler came,
Graven with GRAHAM'S honored name,
Oh, he's the bird of victory, &c.

From Maine to Texas he will bear
That standard proudly on the air;
But, best of all, with joy elate,
He'll sweep like a storm the Hoosier State!
Oh, he's the bird of victory, &c.

19

From every conflict he will bring
Unfading laurels on his wing,
And waft them, when the battle's won,
To WINFIELD SCOTT at Washington!
Oh, he's the bird of victory, &c.

Oh, a peerless bird is the Whigs' delight,
The soaring Eagle, strong and bright;
With joy we greet his radiant form,
Riding aloft through calm and storm.
Oh, he's the bird of Victory!
Oh, he's the bird of Victory!
With joy we greet his radiant form,
Riding aloft through calm and storm!
