AIR -- "Old Lang Syne."
Song performed by: Chad Sheridan, Jason Schreiber (vocals) and Tara Dirst (banjo). Recording engineer: Matt Dotson.

Leave vain regrets for errors past,
Nor cast the ship away,
But nail your colors to the mast,
And strike for Harry Clay!

Cho. -- Till triumphs Harry Clay, my boys,
Till triumphs Harry Clay;
In weal or wo, no change to know,
Till triumphs Harry Clay!

From him no treason need be feared --
Your cause he'll ne'er betray;
What name to freemen so endeared
As that of Harry Clay?

No vain abstractions fill his head,
To lead his heart astray;
For every noble promise made,
Is kept by Harry Clay.

Then let not treason's hated form,
Thus fill you with dismay,
But gathering strength to breast the storm,
Stand fast by Harry Clay.

Rise bravely for one effort more;
Your motto thus display --
Protection for our native shore!
Sustained by Harry Clay.

And o'er our gallant Chieftain's grave,
Pledge we our faith this day;
In weal or wo, no change to know,
Till triumphs Harry Clay!
