THE DAYS OF JEFFERSON.
TuNE-M the days chen are rent Gypscying.
! In the DAYS Of old Tom Jefferson
A long time ago;
! The democrats victory won,
Over their ancient foe:
And then upon their countrys book
A solemn oath they swore,
That ied'ral schemes and power they d brook,
In this good land 70 more:
And thus they raised their standard high,
No iear-com veal, or woe,
/ In the days of old Tom Jefferson
A long time ago.
In the days ofold Tom Jefferson,
A long time ago.
Twas then the foes ofequal right,
Their desperate schemes push'd bold,
TO make the people feel the blight
! Ofkingly power and Gold:
But freedoms champions calmly brave,
Fought for the right and true,
And from the nations councils drave.
