Title: General Grant the Man
Air: Moon Behind the Hill
DEDICATED TO "FREEDOM'S DEFENDERS" OF SAN FRANCISCO.

 

The time has come for all of us,
There's no use now to wait;
And understand what we're about,
Before it is too late.
To bring about the good old times
We've got to change the plan,
And to fight it out on this 'ere line,
O! General Grant's the man!
(Repeat the last four lines for Chorus.)

 

To reconstruct this mighty land,
And do the thing that's right;
We don't want any nonsense now,
Or else there'll be a fight.
We've had enough She-nan-i-gan
Since Congress last began,
And to make peace and prosperity
O! General Grant's the man!

 

Chorus.

 

O! now's the time for all of us
To act and have a voice,
And what I sing and Grant to you
Is now the people's choice.
We want a man that's staunch and true,
To act, as well as plan,
Who's got the nerve to back it up;
And General Grant's the man!

 

Chorus.

 

So rally boys! get up and get!
There's no use now to wait,
But take this matter right in hand
Before it is too late,
And give this Grant to Uncle Sam
You'll not regret the plan
To fill the White House Chair, You Bet,
O! General Grant's the man.

 

Chorus.
