Air: "Yankee Doodle"
How are you, Mister Little "Mac?"
You are a pretty dandy,
But you have got upon a plank
That will throw you very handy.
CHORUS--O clear the track for Honest Abe,
McClellan is behind him,
He can never win the race,
He can't keep up with Lincoln.
You once pursued a noble path,
In fighting for the nation,
But now you've joined the Copperheads,
You've lowered much your station.
CHORUS---O clear the track, &c.
We're sorry for you "Little Mac,"
You've joined a fated party,
So make your mind up to defeat,
How are you now, "my hearty?"
CHORUS--O clear the track, &c.
Abraham Lincoln is our man,
You may depend on it;
We are going to elect him like a book,
So all join in our sonnet.
CHORUS--O clear the track, &c.
Air: "Rally round the Flag"
Let us rally for the Union, its foes now are strong,
Shouting for Lincoln and freedom;
And the glorious shouts of victory to us shall belong,
Shouting for freedom and the Union.
CHORUS---Our country for ever, hurrah, then, hurrah!
Vote against McClellan and the rebel stars;
And vote for Abr'am Lincoln, preserve the
Union, too.
Shouting for freedom and Union.
We can trust Mr. Lincoln, his honor it is true,
Battling for Union and freedom;
Against traitors and North and the Southern rebels, too,
Shouting for Lincoln and freedom;
Out with McClellan and all his copper crew,
Voting for Lincoln and Union.
CHORUS--Our country for ever, hurrah, &c.
Come and help us battle for the holy cause of right,
Striving for Lincoln and freedom;
And we'll save our noble land and our country's honor
bright.
Struggling for freedom and Union.
CHORUS--Our country for ever, hurrah, &c.
