We'll bake the dough-face with our vote,
Who stood the scorching when we wrote;
And paler than the milky way,
We'll bake the plastic face of CLAY.
The tyrant's grapple, &c.
Our vote shall teach all statesmen law,
Who in the Southern harness draw;
So well contented to be slaves,
They fain would prove their fathers knaves!
The tyrant's grapple, &c.
We'll not provoke our wives to use
A power that we through fear abuse;
His mother shall not blush to own
One voter of us for a son.
The tyrant's grapple, by our vote,
We'll loosen from our brother's throat;
With Washington we here agree,
Whose MOTHER taught him to be free!
THE LIBERTY BALL.
G.W.C. Air, "Rosin the Bow."
[Music]
Come all ye true friends of the nation,
Attend to humanity's call;
Come aid the poor slave's liberation,
And roll on the liberty ball--
And roll on the liberty ball--
And roll on the liberty ball,
Come aid the poor slave's liberation,
And roll on the liberty ball.
The Liberty hosts are advancing--
For freedom to _all_ they declare;
The down-trodden millions are sighing--
Come, break up our gloom of despair.
Come break up our gloom of despair, &c.
Ye Democrats, come to the rescue,
And aid on the liberty cause,
And millions will rise up and bless you
With heart-cheering songs of applause,
With heart-cheering songs, &c.
Ye Whigs forsake CLAY and _John Tyler_!
And boldly step into our ranks;
We'll spread our pure banner still wider,
And invite all the friends of the banks,--
And invite all the friends of the banks, &c.
And when we have formed the blest union
We'll firmly march on, one and all--
We'll sing when we meet in communion,
And _roll on_ the liberty ball,
And roll on the liberty ball, &c.
How can you stand halting while virtue
Is sweetly appealing to all;
Then haste to the standard of duty,
And roll on the liberty ball;
And roll on the liberty ball, &c.
The question of test is now turning,
And freedom or slavery must fall,
While hope in the bosom is burning,
We'll roll on the liberty ball;
We'll roll on the liberty ball, &c.
Ye freemen attend to your voting,
Your ballots will answer the call;
And while others attend to _log-rolling_,
We'll roll on the liberty ball--
We'll roll on the liberty ball, &c.
The Trumpet of Freedom.
HARK! hark! to the TRUMPET of FREEDOM!
