New Wing Song.
Tune-Kag and Con.ryman, or Cork IL
There was an old man in the west country,
Who lived in a cabin made OF logs
A lover OF good old cider was he,
And he raised potatoes, and corn, and hogs.
Ri Ia di nu, &c.
One day he sat BY his cabin door,
A thinking his life had most run through;
When fellow rode up and said | snore
I'm glad 10 see you old Tippecdnoc."
Ri III di nu, &c.
SAYS he I've come TO lei you know
The wings are after you full scent;
Their hearts are yearnfng towards vou so,
They want to make you President.
Ri III di nu, &c.
Some OF em went for Gen'ral Scott,
And others thought iha! Clay would do;
Eut most OF EN- said we're gone to pot
Without the Hero of Tippecanoc."
Ri tu di nj. &c.
The old man scarce knew what TO say,
His eyes they opened wider and wider
At last 10 wash down his dismay,
! Says he come IN and take some cider
! Ritu dinu, &c.
| Down 81, the gineral and the whig,
Says he, "old boy, you're just the card"
And then he took a hearty swig,
But thought the cider was rather hard.
Ri tu di nu, SC.
Says Tip g. don't know what to do;
I'm not the man for that high station;
The ether replied, chats very true,
But then you're called for by the nation.
Ri iu di nu, &c.
What matters it whether yon're fit or NOT,
You've been a gin'ra! in your way;
/ And such a rattle as here we've got,
win vote for you sooner than HESRr CLAY :
..... Ritu di nu, &c,
The sovereign people don't know much,
And we're the boys to gull 'em slick;
Wen set you up and give em touch
OF a real old fashioned federal Tick.
ri ,u di nu, &c.
You wont have even your letters TO write,
But whlgs that are both good and true,
Shall make the cares of Office hight,
And leave you lille or nothing to do.
Ri tn di nu, &c.
Well build log cabins all about,
And swear they're like this very house;
And in EN- to do away all doubt.
Wc1!uea, the wings with cider and sOuse.
Ri tu di ru, &c
Though paper money we love to make,
And hvem houses large and grand
Such doines as these are sure TO take
With all the ,corkies 10 the land"
Ri III di nu, &c
Says Tip, 81 don't approve the plan,
And furthermore lam afraid
The people will find ou, I'm the man,
Who one day wore black eockade.
RI tu dinu &c.
Besides my friend you know full we'll
And If the country does, we'Ec lost
That once voted men TO sell
To pay the State their 6ne and cost.
Ri tn di nu, SC.
20 no, says the other, "we1l tell of the Than
OfIhe British and Indians, how they lrw;
And praise you and Puff you, 'iill other great mai
Are lost and forgotten in Tippeeanoe.
Ri tn d. nu, &c.
The whis, his belly OF cider full,
Rose up at .ast 10 say good bye;
Says Tippe, lets iake another putt,
And call again when you are dry
....... Riiu dinu, &c.
Soon after this meeting, in every state,
With banners and music and logs for toys,
The wings went at il early and late,
And made more racket than all the boys.
Ritu di nu, &c.
Just like nor'wssisr, butt end FIRST,
They blowed SO loud and strong blast,
Thata wea,her-wise whig erred = III be bur.,
lfsuch a ssoRTER as this can last
l. ar.. ri ,u di nu. &c.
