To the Buena Vista Guard.

AIR — Oh Susannah.

Now turn out for your native land,
And raise the standard high,
For Taylor leads a gallant band,
To glorious victory.
In peace he'll give us peaceful joys,
In war he'll ne'er retreat,
Our country now or never boys?
For Taylor can't be beat.

CHORUS — Ho! Zack Taylor!!
You're the man for me,
Ho! Zack Taylor!!
Here's success to thee.

On Buena Vista's bloody plain,
He drove the desperate foe,
His fame is sung in every strain,
From Maine to Mexico.
He's honest and he's capable,
He's noble and he's free,
He is a right good patriot,
And that's enough for me,

CHORUS — Ho! Zack Taylor!!
You're the man for me,
Ho! Zack Taylor!!
Here's success to thee.
