The National Whig Song.
Written by W. Hayden, Esq. adapted to a Popular Air.
Allegretto.
I'll sing you now a new Whig song, made to a good old rhyme, Of a
fine true-hearted gen-tel-man all of the old-en time; By
birth and blood, by kith and kin, a sound true Whig was he, For his father signed the charter, that
made our country free. Like a fine true-hearted gentleman, All of the old-en time,
Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1840 by Parker & Ditson, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of Massachusetts
National Whig Song.
I'll sing you now a new Whig song, made to a good old rhyme
Of a fine, true-hearted gentleman, all of the olden time;
By birth and blood, by kith and kind, a sound, true Whig was he
For his father signed the charter that made our country free.
Like a fine, true-hearted gentleman,
All of the olden time.
In youth, upon the tented field, his laurels he did gain,
No Chief so many battles fought, that never fought in vain;
In peace, the quiet Statesman he; but when grim war arose,
He buckled on his armor then, to meet his country's foes.
Like a fine, true-hearted gentleman,
All of the olden time.
And when he'd served his country well, in senate and in field,
The honors that awaited him most freely did he yield;
He turned him to his home again, and sought a Farmer's toils,
For, though he'd filled the offices, he never took the spoils.
Like a fine, true-hearted gentleman,
All of the olden time.
And when the People, in their might, have put their solemn ban
Upon the arch Magician and on all his tory clan,
To manage well their state affairs, with one accord they'll send
For another Cincinnatus, the Farmer of the North Bend.
For he's a fine, true-hearted gentleman,
All of the olden time.
When in the youthful Warrior's hand his country placed the sword,
He conquered all her enemies, that threatened from abroad;
And now, when with domestic foes her highest places teem,
The land the gallant Soldier saved, the Statesman must redeem.
Like a fine, true-hearted gentleman,
All of the olden time.
Let every sound, true-hearted Whig now raise his voice on high,
And, for the triumph of the cause, join Freedom's loudest cry;
Come to the fight, we'll win the field - away with doubts and fears;
The People's man is Harrison - let's give him three good cheers,
For he's a fine, true-hearted gentleman,
All of the olden time!
