LINCOLN CAMPAIGN SONG
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.
UNION AND FREEDOM 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.
