'A"sS" CA s'iV>Siy ior tue "INatlOpal Sia
by Gentleman of Philadelphia.
AiR-Who'N be King out CharRe2
Come sons of men who made the tea
And fought like braves at Bunker;
And Yankee folks from main to York,
Grey head and gallant Younker;
Draw on your feathers,
And mount your feathers,
You're not the lads to tarry,--
When men Of steel,
Who think and feel,
Are up and out for Harry!
Draw on your feathers,
And mount your feathers,
Leave plough in furrow,
And trade in borough,
10 CHOOSE the best in all the land,
For who'll be chief but Harry
The empires countless sons are out,
From ocean shores to Erie;
From Hudson's banks, and Mohawk's wales,
ne men that never weary
10 arms they gather,
In spite of weather,
A glorious end to carry;
The couniry's cause,
The lands and laws,
Led on by Wcster Harry.
Draw on, &c.
A corps of honest fellows,
And miners leave their mountain home,
And furSace-men the bellows;
Around they gather,
In spite of weather,
There lawful rights TO carry;
Protection fair
Of wealth share
And guaranteed by Harry.
Draw on, &c.
Bold Delaware is up in arms,
New Jersey full or fight sir;
And Maryland is true and strong
Tho Old Dominion's right sir.
In spite of weather,
They rush together,
broad seals on banners airy,
In glory fout,
AS rings the shout,
"Our seals are safe with Harry.''
Draw on, &c.
Old North who never breaks her faith,
And frank kentuck the steady,
10 head the column, charge the foe,
And spike the guns are ready;
They march together,
In any weather,
a traitors thrusts TO parry;
To save the land,
They know command,
Must fall on gallant Harry!
Draw on, &c.
The Pukes and Hoosers spring to arms,
The Wolverines are nigh sir,
And trusty Buckeyes pick the flint,
The tight again to try sir.
They're out together,
In worst of weather,
NO man will camp or marry,
Till safe and sound,
The country's found,
In trust of faithful Harry.
Draw on, &c.
How proudly marches Tennessee,
The fearless and the free sir:
Who never struck a feeble blow,
And will not dodge or flee sir,
In any weather,
She mounts the feather,
AT hickory sticks not scary;
With might for right,
She dares the fight,
Her war-cry, death or Harry.
Draw on, sc.
Louisiana, Illinois,
And Alabama come sir,
For Arkansaw, Missouri too,
And Florida make room, sir,
They'll break the tether,
And march together,
A band both bold and wary,
For well they know,
To beat the foe,
No chief will do but Harry:
Draw on, sc.
Let Carolina bow to Baal,
New Hampshire bend the knee, sir,
But Georgia comes. with flags and drums,
From chains and collars free sir;
lier sons together,
In spite of weather,
From Bralnard TO st. Mary;
From faithless hands,
To wrest their lands,
Are calling out for Harry.
Draw on, &c.
4 nations shout is laundering out,
From Mars hill to Cape Sable;
And sea-gods quail, as booms that hail,
And quake The mountains stable.
They wave the feather,
They cry together,
Till rocks the eagles eyry:
And city domes,
And forest homes,
Are wild with cheers for Harry.
Draw on, &c.
