| sf XIV b K HAAEH.
A farmer he sat with his chin in his hands
| Looking cOmpOsedy over his lands
Counting his acres and laying bis plans
| Whrn an officer came that way:
/ The Governor calls for our company's men.
| Timothy. meet US tomorrow at ten;''
| Timothy chanted q s0rrowful strain
And this was his pitifuI lay:
| CHORUS
| 0, Governor Brough It's terrible fought
| declare you We treated downright roughs
| It's very unfortunate call:
| Why, hadn't the Cover 'ment soldiers enough
That you make demand upon Timothy HufY
| IT'S agon' 70 ruin US all"
.fThe plow and the harrow s'pose must stop,
Grocers and merchants must close their shops,
| Every body let everything drop,
And go at the Governors call.
Why, how will sallIe take care of our chaps,
And how the world shall I fix up my trapss
Don't you see can't go tllfailf
go, Governor Brough It's terrible tough T
g declare you've treaLed US downright rough
IT'S very unfortunate call.
Why, hadn't the Government soldiers enough.
That you make a demand upon Timothy HuHg
It's agoin' to rum US alI.''
Up spoke John B. and he says, says he,
Timothy, didn't you vote FOR me2'
and by that says Timothy, t'Yes, sir -EE
The Cover 'ment needed YOU %
~, Wen, went az IL with brain and pan,
m working, this moment, as hard as can:
Hurry up, Timothy, like man,
And help me to put it through
CHORUS
eyes but, Governor Brough, it's tOlerabIe tough
Pears like it was treatin' sort o. rough
That you've been and issued this call
I'm sorry the Government hadn't enough:
Twill discombOberate Timothy Huff
Arn't you feared u mout rum US aus''
''It wasn't so handy, !" says Governor B.,
''When you and the rest OF 'em called upon me;
But brought as an Offering, full and free,
To the work you gave me 10 do,
A heart full of love, ald a soul on fire,
a BODY some hundreds of pounds, entire,
With all that had, should the case require;
And, Timothy, SO should yOu.'
''Still, Governor Brough, it's Ieste bit tOaghr
Though reckon you thought it was proper enough
To make this remarkable CALL
When Government sends iOr Timothy Hua,
He must go they'll handle him powerful rough,
So Timothy goes-that's all p
80, what are the blossoms hoped would blow,
What are the crops that our farms might grow,
II all may be swept by merciless foe,
With sword, and Iagot, and flame
Strike for your country while yet you may;
It's paltry service you're called to pay;
Home again by the hundredth day,
Ana land delivered from shame P'
s'WeI, Governor Brough, it's knderish tough,
But guess, on the whole, it was all well enough
That you made this sensible call;
If the country needs timber for fighting stuff,
lis proper TO call upon Timothy HUFF;
Pm glad you offered US all.'
'.Our brethren have left US for weary years,
Their wives and little ones bathed in tears,
Hearts full of ardor, yet chilled with fears
For their country and liberty;
IRomes have been stricken by Wars dread TOd,
Bodies by thousands lie under the sod,
Patriot souls have gone up their God,
All this for you and for me. !"
CHORUS
80, Governor Brough enough enough
7- reckon I've spoken little too bua 80
e'pOss this isn't so overly tough: ..-
see, old hero, you're just the stuff
Pll follow your banner through smooth and rough
Till We drive the foo the wall.
Call out your men till you're you've enough,
Come on you're welcome to Timothy Huff
Hurrah hurrah hurrah I'
