The Grand Backing OUT

Was out one day a.hunting,
a feeble coon, sure to be shot,
Came down the tree a-gruniing--
"Now Gaping, don't | beg you'll not
Scjust put up that rifle,
Bless'd, il sit here and be shot
will give in trife."
Chorus-Oh Kentucky, &c.
But this in old Hick'ry's dav,
When Coons were week and shy, sir,
Now cock your gun and blaze away,
Faith back they cock their eye, sir.
More thick than Leaflets on the trees,
They've grown as strong as thunder,
And not fox a coon that sees,
But knows be mus knock under
Chora'-Oh Kentucky SC.
So when the wings calld Old Kentuck
TO lead them 10 battle,
The lokeys to their heels all took,
Afore the shot did raNIe;
And 10 escape thus with leg.bal,
They ,hoght themselves quite lucky,
Tor well they know that never fail
The rifles of kentucky.
Ctoras-Oh Kentucky, &c
Yes, times has chang d--Buchanah, Dick,
Tecumpsey and Calhouu, sir,
Give in, aud so without, kick,
Knock under the coons sir,
And thus you see. good people ALL
Exactly how the casa is
Like crabs they run and backward crawl
While none dare take their places
Chorus-Oh Kentucky, &c.
Cries Jim Buchanan in q fright
"'Tis much I'd like to run, sir
But If Ken,uck is in the fight,
cannot stand the fun sir,
And denme fiat all runs,
Twill be the tother way, sir;
And being lame, I'll start at once,
Ere kick'd down by the racer"
Chorus-Oh Kentucky, &c,
Up springs Calhoun when he espied
Kentucky's charger dash on
I'm blow'd il I'll be nulifed
In this ere whirlwind fashion.
I'll seize the opportunity
To slip behind my cotton,
And see Vans shirt democracy
Used up the misbegotten."
CAerus-Oh kentucky, &c.
Then snorts the short winded Kinderhook-
"This third heat must go it,
So If you've bottom, Van, odzook
IT'S now you've got show it.
The world is all agog TO see
This Hall Tvs on the lashes-
They dub him for his cuts at me,
The old Boy of the siashes."
Choras-Oh Kentucky, &c.
Calhoun and Rivcs turn on their heel,
And publish such whopper,
About my running 10 the dell
Without check or stopper
TO shirk, Pm half unanimous,
Confoond it. how unluckyl
Tha, he should win the people thus
This pct son of Kentucky"
ChOrus-Oh Kentucky, SC.
In forty II you lost your legs
Care no, piece Of chalk, sir;
Well screw you tight, with pins and pegs,
Unto new legs OF cork, sir,
And then, Van, fast enough you'll run
Don't crawl upon the shelf sir,
Aid of you LEFT BY Harrison,
Well whip with Harrys SELF sir.
Corn'-oh Kentucky, SC.
