Tho some may try, tho some may scheme,
To beat Mayo, tits vain to dream,
His virtues shine too bright,
For tho his foes, stand hand in hand,
host of foreigners, treacherous band;
Scarcely knowing wrong from night,
We will not grant to them the might
To rule this sweet, this glorious land,
For which our fathers here did fight.
The gay, about the streets are rolling,
And office seekers too, are strollins,
In search of votes from door to door;
Some defaming some are praisinE
Oh. what clamor they raising,
Huzzs huzza for Joe Mayo.
Tho some rejects, tho some derids him.
Yet he is true, for we have tried him,
And hope to see him Mayor once more.
Where can we find man of skill,
More competent, his place to fill,
More courteous or more wise,
More worthy to receive applause,
More thorough vers'd in all the laws,
That rules the earth and skies.
Mid heat or cold. he never swerves
From duty. therefore he deserves,
The place he occupies.
