1844 Whig Songbook Index

Index of First Lines

• A barber in Lexington having some ill feeling toward Mr. Clay
• A Chief’s in the gallant West,
• A few short weeks ago,
• Ah, Matty Van’s a used up man
• All country voters gather round, while your hearts I warm, sar,
• A race, a race! And who will win?
• Arouse, arouse from hill and valley
• As I walked out dis arternoon,
• At the glorious close of the struggle which placed “the good President” in power,
• Away to the battle, our foemen are near,
• Away with Traitor Tyler ;
• Brave Markle is the soldier’s pride,
• Calhoun, Buchanan, Johnson, Cass,
• Come, freemen, ere our land’s undone,
• Come, friends of Markle, gather round.
• Come, true gallant Whigs of the Union—
• Come all ye bold lads of old ’40,
• Come all ye log cabin boys, we’ll have another raising,
• Come Whigs prepare to enter the chase,
• Far from the west see the statesman advancing,
• For Henry Clay, our candidate.
• Freemen, whom your states adore,
• From “Yankee Land” — at dawn of day —
• Gallant young Whigs, awake! awake!
• Hark! from the broad and noble West —
• Harry Clay of old Kentucky,
• Henry Clay is a native of Hanover county, Va.
• Here’s a health to the workingman’s friend.
• Here’s success to old Kentucky,
• If e’er I should wish to get married,
• In Andrew Jackson’s reign,
• In the days when we went canvassing
• In the Senate of the United States on the 31st of March, 1842,
• It has been known that here of late,
• Johnny Tyler in good time will know.
• Leave vain regrets for errors past.,
• List, list to the People’s cry,
• Lo! the chieftain is gone from the scene of his fame,
• Loco. I am opposed to the British tariff.
• Mr. Clay.
• Mr. Madison’s estimate of Mr. Clay.
• Now Matty, on the shelf you’re laid,
• O, every day brings something new,
• Oh Polk! Oh Polk!
• Oh what has caused all this Whig thunder, thunder, thunder,
• Once more our glorious banner out,
• Onward! — speed onward! and spread to the gale,
• Our little Mat, from Kinderhook, no friend to country quarters,
• Our liveliest pledge
• Our song we had sung — for the feast was all o’er,
• Out, out, Whigs and true democrats,
• Robert Tyler addressed a crowd of persons
• Said Tyler John, the other day,
• Shout for our Whig Chief, the bold Ashland Farmer
• Some are born great, some achieve greatness,
• The Calhoun and Van Buren factions of the Democratic party
• The Charge of Bargain and Sale,
• The Chief of the West is coming, coming,
• The following anecdote of Mr. Clay, at Ghent, is worth repeating.
• The following toast by the Hon. John P. Kennedy,
• The following worthy tribute from an opponent is from the Democratic Review:
• The gallant whigs have drawn the sword,
• The land-shout rings loud for our bold hero, Clay,
• The locos say there is no tune,
• The Madisonian says that the Tyler men are willing to count noses
• The moon was shining silver bright.
• The orator’s coming, huzza, huzza!
• The self-made man,
• The skies are bright, our hearts are light,
• The story we’ll tell you’s surprisin,’
• The Tariff question is now a settled question
• The Tars will man their gallant ships,
• The truth! it is mighty! and truth will prevail,
• Tis fair to see yon banner bright
• Welcome the strain that around us is pealing,
• What has caused this agitation, ‘tation, ‘tation,
• What has caused this agitation, ‘tation, ‘tation,
• What would be thought of the morality of the Democratic party
• When Harrison, the good and brave,
• When in the south dread civil war
• When Markle marched to the frontier,
• When sly Van left the chair of state,
• Whig Thunder
• While Colonel Johnson was on a visit to Pennsylvania,
• Ye gallant true Whigs of the army
• Ye honest Whigs and voters true,
• Ye voters all throughout the land,
• Ye Whigs and ye Locos who little have to do now,
