A Democratic Harrison Song.

18

TUNE — "The Guerriere, a Frigate bold."

It always has been told,
That the Locofocos bold
Could beat the Whigs to pieces, and so hand O!
But they now have found their match,
And will see when comes the "scratch,"
That the Tippy-Boys for fighting, are the dandy O!

The "White House," a mansion bold,
Where the Spoilers have their hold,
Is governed by Van Buren, the Grandee O!
With as choice a Kitchen crew,
As ever salary drew;
They could flog the Tippy-Boys, so handy O!

When the "Log Cabin" hove in view,
Says sly Martin to his crew.

19

Come clear the House for action, and be handy O!
To the weathergage boys get her,
And to make his tools fight better,
He promised them fat offices, the dandy O!

Then Matty loudly cries,
Make this Cabin, boys, your prize,
You can, if you'll but try right hard and handy O!
I'll reward you well you know,
And to work you all must go,
And do not fail to use the gold and brandy O!

The Locos' shot flew hot,
But the Whigs they answered not
Until they had all things well fixed and handy O!
I'll reward you well you know,
And to work you all must go,
And do not fail to use the gold and brandy O!

The Locos' shot flew hot,
But the Whigs they answered not
Until they had all things well fixed and handy O!
Says old Tippy to his crew;
"Now let's see what we can do,
We'll take this pseudo-Democrat, this Grandee O!"

The first broadside we pour'd
Carried Connecticut by the board,
Which made the Locos look quite abandoned O!
Then Matty shook his head,
And to his scullions said;
"I begin to fear old Tippy's name's the dandy O!"

Our second told so well,
That Rhode Island quickly fell,
And Virginia, she surrender'd so handy O!
Says he, "Amos we're undone,
Aye every mother's son;"
While the Tippy-Boys were shouting we're the dandy O!

Then Martin says to Amos:
"No one can hardly blame us,
If you will now turn editor, so handy O!
You must wear another robe,
And write daily for the Globe;
Cheer up, let's take a hearty pull of brandy O!"

Come fill your glasses full,
And we will take a hearty pull,

20

Ye Log Cabin boys, of Cider that's the dandy O!
We'll drink a toast so true,
To the Hero of Tippecanoe,
That he will be our President, so handy O!
