JIMMY POLK, OF TENNESSEE.

,. GREINER.
TuNE-"Dandy Jim, Of Caroline"
o, every day brings something new,
The Loco Focos find it so;
And strange events have proved to Martin
That doubtful things are "mighty unsartin."
Lindenwald the Fox is hocd,
The Coons all laugh to hear it told
HaLha! ha! such a nominee
AS Jimmy Polk Of Tennessee.
O, annexation was the yoke las
That fixed Van like af'pig in poke!"
They poked it to the cunning en-
BY poking Jimmy Polk himself!
At Lindenwald, sc.
And "Cass," poor fool, his chance has flown
Like the clone STAR" he stands alone;
His "Texas letter. proves that he,
Should write his name without a c.
AT Lindcnwald, SC.
And Colonel johnson too, whose zeal
Burned bright for "Texas' and 'Rcpeal;''
The Locos thought Dick "did'nt know BEANS
And so they pokcd up Polk for greens.
AT Lindenwald, SC.
But Polk for greens won't save their bacon,
The party to its centres shaken;
Fen Tyler and Texas now do say,
That Polk can't polk it into Clay
AT Lindenwald, SC.
And Silas Wright ('twas good joke,
Declined,) he was not fond of Polk;
But, Silas we won't trouble you,
You're ''right' without the "W"
AT Lindenwald, SC.
Next George M. Dallas they persuade,
Aitho' he wore the black cockadc
And tho he went the Bank and Biddlc
To Polk he plays the stcohd fiddle.
AT Lindcnwald, sc.
Now "choke" and Polk will always rhyme,
And Dallas and gallows is very sublime
They doscd the Fox ON Polk root poison,
