First Lines:

• Allen Thurman on the bank, Grover Cleveland in the pool,
• And they’s still another idy ‘at I ort to here append,
• At Peachtree creek in Sixty-four,
• Capt. Cleveland — I am the captain of the Free Trade crew.
• Cleveland took his hook and line and started off a-fishing.
• Come arouse ye, arouse ye, my brave Buckeye boys!
• Come listen to me, and I’ll sing you a song,
• Come listen, all ye soldiers who wore the royal blue,
• Come, patriots, come, and let’s clear out the kitchen,
• Cutting the tax from the sheep’s white wool,
• Dar’s a-gwine to be a movin’ call
• Democrats may flourish their bandannas —
• For America and freedom we take the field again
• Glorious is our candidate!
• Grover Cleveland is a collar of extraordinary size,
• He comes from the West in the strength of his name,
• Hoist the good old flag, my boys, we always loved so well,
• Hurrah! Hurrah for Harrison!
• I love the rough log cabin,
• In ’76 a patriot band —
• Let fame put her trump to the lip of the morn
• Men, whose sires for freedom bled!
• Not a sigh was heard, not a farewell groan,
• O Democrats, hear the trumpet blow,
• O, glorious standard of the free,
• Oh, Grover C, my Jo Grove! I wonder what you mean
• Oh, what has caused this great commotion,
• Oh, where, tell me where, was your Buckeye Cabin made?
• Oh, who is Grover Cleveland’s Vice,
• Should brave old soldiers be forgot?
• Should good old cider be despised
• The spoilsmen are fretful and gloomy as night,
• The voice of the nation has spoken,
• We are ready for the battle of November
• We long to see the season come
• When British foemen swarmed around
• When Free Trade, from her topmost crag,
• When my old hat was new (’twas back in sixty-one),
• Ye jolly young lads of the nation
