eneIny dhshIng,
Sprang forth 10 the rescue old 'Tippecanoe
The iron armed soldier the true hearted soldier
| The gallant old soldier of Tippecanoe.
When cannons We're pcaling and brave men were
Keeling,
In the cold arms Of death from the fire Of the foe.
Where balls flew the thckest and blows fell the
quickest
In the front Of battle bold Harry did 90
The force Of the enemy trembled before him.
| And soon from the field his glory withdrew
And his warm hearted comrades in triumph cried DER
God bless the bold soldier Of Tippecanoei
The iron armed soldier the true-h hearted soldier
| The gallant old soldier Of Tippecanoe
And NOW since the have so long held the nation,
Who trample our rights in their scorn to the
ground,
We will fill their cold hearts with new trepidation
And shout in their ears this most terrible sound,
| The people coming resistless and fearless,
To sweep from the White House the reckless old
crew,
For the woes of oul land since its rulers are fearless
We look 10 reefto old Tippecanoe
The iron armed soldier the true hearted soldier,
The gallant old soldier of Tippecanoe.
The people coming from plain and from mountain,
To join the brave band of the honest and free,
Which grows, the stream from the leafsheltered
fountain,
Spreads broad and more broad till il reaches the sea
No strength can restrain it force can detain it,
Whatee may resist ii breaks CALAMITY through
And borne by ITS motion, a ship the ocean
Speeds on in his glory old Tippecanoe,
The iron armed soldier the true hearted soldier
The gallant old soldier of Tippecanoe.
