THE TRAVELLERS,
ArR-"7he Cork Leg"

Two travellers one Novembers day,
TO Washington City took their way;
They footed it off, and the people say,
That one was Polk and the other was Clay
Ri tu, &c.
Now when they came to the White House door
They saw each other, they hadn't before;
And Clay exclaimed as he turned up his nose,
"Why here's fellow whom nobody knows"
Ri tu, &c.
Says Polk, say. he, I'll have heard folk tell
There's such a matter as knowing too we'll"
And Clay replied, with oath so strong,
60 home, Go home, TO where YOU belong"
Ri tu, &c.
Then Polk exclaimed, in a quiet speech,
"Suppose you practice the deed you preach
For out in the West is your home that's clear,
While the people have made me nice home here y
Ri tu, &c.
SO with that they raped at the door, and out
Came Captain Veto, with honesty stout,
And said, Good folks, pray what's the matter,
You're kicking up here such deuce of clatter ,
Ri tn, &c.
Says Clay to Tyler, and smiled with glee--
Dear Captain John don't you know me! -
80, yes! :" says the Captain, "that same old coon,
Take my advice and you'll clear out soon,"
Ri tu, &c.
Then Harry he groaned and groaned and sworc,
And stamped and ravcd at the White House door.
But Tyler he hinted that twas of no use,
1.-The didn't clear out he'd let the dogs loose,
Ri tu, &c.
Then Tyler turned TO Polk, who stood
And looked on the scene with pleasant mood,
And said, "step up, my good friend Jim
I'll let you in, but | can't let him.
Ri tu, &c.
The people won't suffer this ruler of Clay,
And what they command in haste obey
Come i'll, and get warm in the nations hall
On the fourth of March you shall have it all ~
Ri tu, &c.
Together they entered, while down at the gate,
The lawyer Clay bemoaned his fate;
While Tyler to Polk inside did say,
The people have given a poke to Clay"
