stand by our Chieftain so great and so good, Gallant Abe! Honest Abe of the West.

stand by our Chieftain so great and so good, Gallant Abe! Honest Abe of the West.

2. Yes hail! noble Chieftain in honor we hail! Now boys we will try him again; He is driving the Wedge in the Tyrant's great Rail, And he'll soon split Rebellion in twain. Then fall into line boys our nation doth call, And Traitors at home shall soon feel That our Chieftain shall triumph, the Dragon shall fall, And his head shall be crushed 'neath your heel. Chorus. Then rally again, &c.

3. Come up to the polls then from mountain and glen, Stand firm boys and work for the right, We will show the bold Traitors we'll triumph again, When we face him once more in fight; Now forward brave boys and press hard the great Tower, And the foeman within shall soon see That his dart cannot harm us, we hail the glad hour When the nation forever is free. Chorus. Then rally again, &c.
