Election Songs

Air: Marching Through Georgia

Let us join our voices, boys,
And sing an anthem grand,
Sing it with a spirit, boys,
That will rouse our valiant band;
Sing now as we used to sing, when
Lincoln ruled the land;
While we are voting for Garfield.

CHORUS.
Hurrah! hurrah! The banner of the
free |
Hurrah! hurrah! Garfield our watch-
word be
So ring out the chorus from the great
lakes to the sea,
While we are voting for Garfield.

We must meet the foemen, boys,
We met in days of yore;
And we'll meet them with the spirit
That we’ve met them oft before;
Leave them as we left them when
Richmond was no more,
While we are voting for Garfield.
CHO.—Hurrah! hurrah! etc.

We will have no more bull-dozing;
All voters shall be free;
And the flag we saved from traitors
Shall the freeman's safety be;
And we'll have no fiat money,
But an honest currency,
While we are voting for Garfield.
CHO.—Hurrah ! hurrah ! etc.
ARE WOTING FOR GARFIELD.
Tune, Marching through Georgia.

Let us rally round the SOLDIER,
The patriot voluNTEER,
Who on Chickamauga's field
Would not bend the knee in fear;
And he'll never bend to Hancock,-
, Demmys, do you hear?
While we are voting for Garfield.
CHO.-Hurrah ! hurrah !' etc.

Upward springing from the people,
A farmer's boy and plain;
Tow-path boatman; struggling teacher;
Fortune's fairest honors gain;
Now his name the Nation’s cheering,
And our President he'll reign,
While we are voting for Garfield.
CHO.-Hurrah ! hurrah! etc.

Glorious Garfield ! splendid hero !
A statesman true and tried;
Worthy leader of the hosts that
Saved the Nation's life and pride;
Fit to wear the crown of glory
Lincoln left us when he died,
While we are voting for Garfield.
CHO.-Hurrah ! hurrah! etc.

Raise our brave old banner, boys,
Oh, wave the flag on high !
Sound the trembling cymbals, boys,
For our jubilee is nigh;
While a million voices ringing
Swell the joyful cry,
While we are voting for Garfield.
CHO.-Hurrah ! hurrah! etc.
