To larn the new Dimmykrat ways.
In the doctrines ov Jineral Jackson
Meself wuz Dimmykrat shkooled,
Whin money wuZ not printhid paypur
But jinooine silver and goold.
Faix, its meself as raymimbirs
How in Eloquent tarms we were tould
BY yersef an by mishtur Va1landigham,
That Dinlny krat shtaialin' am bo9ld,
How the country wud go to the divil
If it wuz by the Radikles rooled
Fur to dhirty ould rags am papur
They were turnin' our silver and goold.
When the price of pork and perraties
Wiafup at the divil's own rate,
AM u fshtfuI ov dollars 'twas takin'
To puryide few mouthfuls ov mate;
Whin ov half our rayshunS ov whisky
Meself and me Judy wuz fooled,
Yez tould us twas all bekase paypur
Had dhruv out our silver and goold.
An now its yerself that's bin praychin'.
We haven t got payptir enough; S =
That there must be more laygul tinder-
Which Pm thinkin' is nightly tough !;
AM that whin vance more the whole coun
BY Dinmykrat statesmen is'rooled,
We shall all have lashins ov papur,

If yersilf behaves in the dOcthrines
In which ye'd have us shkooled;
An whether yer fondher ov papur,
Or rshinin' silver and gold. ~. y49.,
An now mishtur Pindleton darlint,
Ov yer hammers s1lf I'll be bould
To AK the thrue Dimmykrat docthrine,
That is safe for poor-bye to hould.
Shure, it isn't meself that is wantin'
With Radikle lies to be fooled
Is Dimm ykrat1noneybu but papur?
Or ould fashioned silver and goold
