HAL Of NEW lOChx
NEW WING SONG,
(TuNE-"Ihe tight little hland')
Old Virginia her share, has produced all declare,
Of great and good men to the nation,
To her heroes and sage who will live throuh all ages
She can point with proud exultation.
From her sprung great HAL OF KENTUCKY!
The pride and the boast of Kentucky

For her son, glorious HAL OF KENTUCKY.
In these United States are some addle pates,
Who talk nonsence bout Martin Van Buren,
And there's folks alas, who of Calhoun or Cass
Prate until they are past all enduring;
But compare them with HAL OF KENTUCKY,
If they're not quite "ased up" they'll be lucky!
They are good sort OF men
Well allow, but what then.
They're mere cyphers to HAL OF KENTUCKY!
About Henry Clay, I've so much got to say,
That / cannot tell how to begin it;
IT'S not mere boast, where best known he's lov'd
most,
And his friends are increasing each minute
Success attend HAL OF KENTUKY!
The statesman, the sage of Kentucky,
Good old Tippecanoe,
With ease we pull'd through,
Well do much more for HAL OF KENTUCKY.
Der HARRIsoN's grave, the good and the brave,
Mourn'ed each son and each lover of freedom!
We could i'll spare him them we can neer spare such
men,
At the present we very much need them!
To the rescue comes HAL OF KENTUCKY,
Let us rally round HAL OF KENTucKY
The Wing banner we'll raise
With three thund'ring huzzas,
And unite under HAL OF KENTUCKY.
Let no one e'er grumble, be his birth eer SO humble

Cried the MILL-BoY OF HANOVER SLAsHEs!
Twas achiev'd by brave HAL OF KENTUCKY!
'Mongst the ssgreates." stands Hal of Kentucky!
Freedom, Honor, and Truth,
He lov'd from his youth,
They're the watch-words Of HAL OF KENTUCKY.

Describing all dark double dealing;
He regards non-consnatal, as thriving to tit all,
Your own thoughts and feelings concealiDg-
For the ,ohole truth goes HAL OF KENTUCKY!
Where it leads, follows Hal of Kentucky,
The Northern mans noddle,
On a Southern, mans model,
SIS all humbug," says HAL OF KENTUCKY.
His opinions are known, for they've oftimcs been
thrown,
On all points concerning the nation;
He'll Industry defend, Trade and Commerce extend
And give us sound circulation;
"Ihe Constitution, cries Hal OF hentucKy!
"Pay your debts, says Hal of Kentucky,
Neither Notification
Nor Reputation,
Finds favor with HAL OF KENTUCKY.
An American he, from all party alfree,
All sections, all feelings combining;
To unite, not divide, is always his pride,
Spite of demagogues vile and designing;.
"For my country says Hal Of Kentucky!
aWe're all brothers" says Hal of Kentucky!
To do what is right
And to stand firmly byit,
Is the practice of HAL OF KENTUCKY.
NV Wing friends tits clear, that this very next year,
Twill end all our toll and vexaton;
For the peoples loud voice viii make HARRY their
choice,
And place him in the chair of the nation;
Give thee cheers then for Hal of Kentucky!
Throw your caps up for Hal of Kentucky!
None so worthy as he,
To be chief of the free,
Con BLESS HENRY CLAY OF KENTUCKY.
