Twas on cold and cloudy day,
In Clay Wing Philadelphia,
Old Horace says the Wings did slay
Their great and faSorte coon. a'
Their great and favorte coon,
Their great and favorite coon,
p Their great and favorite coon,
A.. From old Kentucky's State!
Before the victim was destroyed,
To Lexington he was decoyed;
And coaxed to have his mind employed
Against his countrys war, &c.
Was old Keptuckys coon!
The men who urged the cruel blow,
Were friendly to our country's foe;
They laid the poor old gray coon low,
And never shed tear, &c.
.g. Ger '.Duncan in his gravel"
'The wars UNJUST the Wings all say,
THE wars UNJUST says Henry Clay,
But still, think, I'D like TO slay
A Mexican myself &c.
Says old Ken,ucky's coon!
NO. no. cries Zack, there's nohe for you,
For nearly all of thetn slew,
b And now I'll have a crack at you,
For preaching unjust war &c.
Poor old Kentucky's coon!
'Hurrah for that, says Judge Mclean,
although the wars a moral stain
Its chiet, fresh from the bloody plain,
Well take, to kill old Hal &c.
, And share the spols ourselves!' .'
sMost upright judge says Dan, you're rig hi
Although the hero OF the fig ht .... a.fr
Wears tarnished laurels, yet they might
Eclips Kentucky's star! sc. ,..-
And place US into power! ..
,Oh, shame! oh, shame! to murder Clay
Methinks hear Tom Corwin say;
sBut bloody hands the game must play,
Therefore let Harry die!' &C.
a5e The faithful, trusty coon!
Hold on says Greedy, SHOULD we sip
The CRIMSON draught now near our lip,
We'll surely ge, the 'TslEa aalPrB,
AZ once we did before, &c.
For fighting our old coon!'
