UNION CAMPAIGN SONG.
Tune: "Hide Away."
We have joined the Union ranks and we've lit upon the planks
That will save us from destruction by and by.
There is music in the air and for war we do prepare;
And the uuion-jack is flying mighty high;
Now don't be a fool and as stubborn as a mule,
But join the L'nion ranks while you may.
And we'll sing a silver tune iu the coming month of June,
And we'll beat 'em on election day.
chorus:
Stay away, stay away,
Now, Union boys, don't stay away,
But walk the Union deck and pass in a check
That will beat 'em on election day.
Now, don't mistake the craft and get aboard abaft,
But all join hands to the fore,
For we never will go back on the silver union jack,
But we'll nail it to the mast evermore.
Now for action clear the deck, we no quarter give or take;
The ballot battle uow is nearly on,
And let every mother's son, till the fight is fairly won,
Keep a forging to the front like a man.
CHORUS.
We are nearly all undone by the power behind the throne,
And its manacles have made us mighty sore
With its monumental gall, head and shoulders over all,
O we never want to feel it any more.
Now we make this one appeal to get silver in the deal,
, For we never to a golden calf pray;
So with a loud hurrah our silver bow we draw
That will floor 'em on election day.
CHORUS.
