TUNE — "Hurrah! Hurrah!"
The Patriot hosts for glory burn,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
The Kinderhook oppressor spurn,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Our country calls, her banners wave,
Charge Freemen, charge, your country save,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
35
No more for spoils, no more for gold,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Each true man bares his bosom bold,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
'Tis Freedom's cause in which we war
And wave on high the stripe and star.
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
The Hero of the Thames will guide,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
The thunderbolts of victory's tide,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Strike off our country's galling chain,
Her dimm'd escutcheon clear again.
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Then onward to the combat, men,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
From every mountain, pass and glen,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Start to that battle cry the free,
Who strike for glorious liberty.
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Hark! From each burning heart and lip,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Loud swells the slogan of "OLD TIP,"
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
"We'll conquer in our country's cause,
And vindicate her injured laws."
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
The old Log-Cabin Chief will stand,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
The saviour of his native land,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
36
And honest men will rally roundThe Buckeye upon patriot ground.
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
The gallant Ship of State we'll man,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
To Kinderhook we'll banish VAN,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
The spoilsmen to the d—! send,
And for the Hero of North Bend,
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
