Title: Our "Mac" Shall March to Washington

Air: When Johnny Comes Marching Home

 

[From the Democratic Presidential Campaign Songster.]
 
McClellan is the people's choice,
This fall—this fall!
We'll aid him with our votes and voice,
This fall—this fall!
Until we put our hero through,
And send Old Abe to Bal-la-hoo;
For we'll all feel gay when we send the "Joker" home;
For we'll all feel gay when we send the "Joker" home!

 

 

Our "Mac" shall march to Washington,
This fall—this fall!
Not "by the way of old Bull Run, "
This fall—this fall!
For that you know, was Old Abe's route,
And like him, boys, is well played out,
So we'll all feel gay when we send him joking home!
So we'll all feel gay when we send him joking home!
 
Yes, Abram, boys, is quite played out,
This fall—this fall!
Of that there's not the slightest doubt,
This fall—this fall!
He run the "nig" into the ground,
Where he said he'd drive the rebel hound,
So we'll all feel gay, when we place him joking home!
So we'll all feel gay, when we place him joking home!

 

Give Mac a hearty welcome, then,
This fall—this fall!
And vote, and work for him, like men,
This fall—this fall!
For that's the way well win the prize,
And " pull the wool " o'er Abrams eyes,
And all feel gay, when we send the "Joker" home!
And all feel gay, when we send the "Joker" home!
