November:
Who are the friends Of Liberty,
7 he men who meath the Southern
Carried the banner Of the free,
Resolved to conquer or to die
Or they who in the darkest hour
That Ger ecipsed proud Freedoms sun
Come forth to trample with their power
The victorie. our heroes won
What would traitor even dare
The purple robes of state to wear,
And occupy great Lincolns ehAir'
Not yet Horatio Seymour
Wow, boys, we've heard from Penniylvania
Ohio, Indiana, and Nebraska. Three cheers

Once again, brave boys-long meter-Riss 1t
