How happy's the farmer who lives by the Clay,
The Brickmakcr places his forms in the SUM-
To harden them well when his moulding is done;
Then fires them boldly not fearing tina, they
VIII crack in the kiln, for he trusts to his Clay
Trusts to the Clay trusts to the Clay!

Hurrah forthe Clay, hurrah for the Clay

And works il to make it both plastic aud tough

And smiles at their bliss, for he earned thy CLAY

Let's follow the Cottcr aud wor, in the Clay,
When winter winds howl round the Clay pastcrcd cot
And vcn'Son is smoking, and honiny hot,
The wocdman cXus that the temprst's at bav
And he laughs at the storm for he's sheltered bv CLAY
Sheltered by Clay sheltered By Clay,
He laughs at the storm for he's sheltered by Clay.
Hurrah for the Clay hurrah for the Clay,
Well laugh the hen re sheltered by CLAY
The Cabin Of State TO its ruin runs fast
II lets in the snow drift, the rain and the BLAST
Its iurDiiurcs rotten, its timbcrs decay,
And nothing can Save i, but filling with Clay
The world over Boys, there is Clay that is good,
For building Of cabins and raising Of food
But for work such as ours let me tell you the best,
IsCLAY OF kESrUcKY--THE CLAY OF THE w EST
Clay of the West, Clay OF the West,
There's nothing for us like Clay Of the West
Hurrah for the Clay! hurrah for the Clay,
There's nothing FOR W. like the Kentucky Clay
Come join then, my hoartics, each son of the land
And citizen stranger hand linked into hand,
United and earnest wei carry the day,
And rescue the land by top dressing with Clay
Topping with Clay, topping with Clay,
Wen rescue the land by top-dressns with Clay
Nine cheers for great Harry, whose honor won't bend
Who never turned back a foe or friend,
Who works for his country 10y night aud by day,
The country will thank him by working for Clay.
Working for Clay, working for Clay
The country will thank him by working for Clay
Hurrah for the Clay, hrrrah for the Clay,
The country viii thank him by working for Clay.
