1. They will go with our brave leaders from the green mountain's height,
Where the tints on the blossoms tell the story of the fight;
Oh! next election morning, with millions at our side,
We will leap into the freedom car, and all take a ride.
Wait for the wagon, Wait for the wagon,
Wait for the wagon, and we'll all take a ride.
Wait for the wagon, Wait for the wagon,
Wait for the wagon, and we'll all take a ride.

2. Oh! they'll come from the valleys of fresh emerald and gold;
And the rude hills of granite, where the battlesmoke uprolled,
With the bugle and the banner, and the overflowing heart,
So jump into the wagon, and we will all take a start.
Wait for the wagon, &c.

3. Where the Mississippi rolls, like a silver belt along,
Where Niagara shouts for freedom in the thunder of her song,
Where the avalanches tumble from the tall mountain side,
They will jump into the wagon, and will all take a ride.
Chorus— Wait for the wagon, &c.

4. In the far off El Dorado, where the gold diggers toil;
And the broad western prairies, where the flowers spell free soil,
Where the bobolink boasts, that his uncle will preside,
Armies wait for the wagon, and will soon take a ride.
Chorus— Wait for the wagon, &c.
