Title: Union Republican Campaign Song Grant and Colfax

Air: Kingdom Coming

Let us rally round our men, Grant and Colfax, O!
Let us shout and shout again, Grant and Colfax, O!
Each to Union is a friend,
Neither will to traitors bend,
Let us to the White House send Grant and Colfax, O!

 

Say, soldiers have you seen the fellow
With the platform in his hand,
Upon the tramp to the Big City
Where the White House looks so grand?
He stops to rest, for he'll be weary,
But brave Grant is strong and true,
He's bound to show to the great Horatio
That he can walk faster too!
Poor Seymour rests, ha, ha,
And Grant ahead we see,
Horatio'll give out on the way,
And that's what the matterll be!

 

 

Grant with his soldiers of the Union,
Has thrash'd the men in grey,
He fought so well they couldn't but surrender,
And down went the C. S. A.!
He did so well the rebels hate him,
For they got so dreadful tanned;
Now they think if they put in Seymour,
That they soon shall rule the land!
Poor Seymour rests, ha, ha, c.

 

 

The rebels feel so dreadful living
'Neath the rule of loyal men,
They throw their hats for Massa Seymour,
And old Jeff does smile again,
There're words of comfort in the platform
On which Seymour stands with Blair,
But they'll give the rebs no consolation
When Grant takes the White House Chair!
Poor Seymour rests, ha, ha, c.

 

 

The copperheads they made us trouble
When the dreadful war did rage,
We look'd some up in the forts and watched em,
While their friends we did engage,
They now are out and feeling pretty saucy,
But we'll teach them a thing or two,
Grant's smart enough, brave enough, to first reach the White House,
And what'll Horatio do?
Poor Seymour rests, ha, ha,
And Grant ahead we see,
Horatio'll give out on the way,
And that's what the matter will be!
