Agreed to nominate man'
TO lay the locos low.
Tiirse candidates in tho field,
If have not forgot,
And the delegates they did declare,
For the gallant Winfeld Scott
Cborus-And he'll take the Presidents chair,
SO lokeys you'd better prepare,
For the gallant old soul
Will just rub his old pole,
And set down in tho Presidents chair
For Scott, my boys all will sips
For he is just the man
With him wei use up Pierce and Kiss,
And all the loco clan
Our leader goes before us boys;
He'll make the loieys fly,
AS loud is heard his old watch. word,
Let's conquer, boys or die :"
Chorus And he'll take the Presidents chair.
He's the boy you never can scare,
For the locos will fly.
At the glance OF his eye
When he sits in the Presidents ch.i,.
In battles wild commotion
He always won the field
From Lundys Lane 20 Mexico
He made the foemen yield
I'd rather have that same old coon,
Who ne'er was known to yield
Than have that locofcco loon
A faintipg on the field.
Chorus,-Well give him the Presidents chair
And the locos fiom far snd near
Will envy the meeting
And the soup III be eating,
When he sits in the Presidents chair
