Election Songs

Air: When Johnny Comes Marching Home

Through all the land there comes a cry,
Hurrah! hurrah!
The enemy once more is nigh,
Hurrah! hurrah!
From state to state the order flies,
Loud let the cry reach to the skies,—
Hurrah for Blaine our coming President!

The Democrats may shout and jeer,
Hurrah! hurraht
But we will drown them with our cheer,
Hurrah! hurrah!
Like Tilden their candidate shall go down,
Beneath the people's righteous frown,
Hurrah for Blaine our coming President!

Once more we'll make their forces yield,
Hurrah! hurrah!
And drive our foes from off the field,
Hurrah! hurrah!
The principles of honesty,
Best grace the Land of Liberty,—
Hurrah for Blaine the coming President!

They say we wave the "bloody shirt,"
Hurrah! hurrah!
And if we do—who does it hurt?
Hurrah! hurrah!
We have a right, by all the tears,
By all the war's great woe and fears!
Hurrah for Blaine our coming President!
