In Chinaland, and s00n he will return
To the celestia alb de of his youth.

The new wo. id, in the East, only to find
Pienty of work, f1r his price is SO cheap

Who have work t give out. ru , their hands witt

The one for cheap labor the other for

While John gathers The cash to send away
To china land over tn. deep blue sea.
His country gets rich. while ours h. comes poor
For he t ,kes all he gold and silver, too,
And leaves nothing behind save opl'm
Joints and pip 8 for the vile poison to smoke,
Together with the josh OF the Chinee

He buys neither shoes. clothes nor underwear,

Thus b eeding diseases. such as leprosy.

So this Mongolian plague will be dlspelled

In our system, for all over the land

Firmly resolve d t peacefully demand
That they shall speedily leave the country.
AS under the la " they came, % under

Which bind them til htly with cords Of ava ice.
T, fair america. They now must go!
For they no 10 ger will be permitted
To suck The lite's blood Of cur existence.
The fiat has me forth and John must pack
Ills ira IS and quickly pursue his journey
T, Chinaland where, IL der it. congenial

And enjoy bib heather lido. airy.
