BArLLE o. NEW oRLEAxs, JAN. 8, 1915.
Ye gentlemen and ladies fair,
Who grace this famous city,
Just listen, IL you've time TO spare,
While rehearse ditty;
And for the opportunity
Conceive yourselves quite lucky,
For 'tis not often that you SEQ
A hunter from Kentucky.
We are . hardy. free-born race,
No men to fear stranger.
Whate'er the game, we join in chase,
Despising toll and danger;
And il daring foe annoys,
Whateer his strength and forces,
Well show him that Kentucky boys
Are alligator horses.
ls'pose you've read il in the prints,
How Packenham attempted
To make old Hickory Jackson vince,
But soon his scheme repented;
For we, with rifles ready cooked,
Thought such occasion lucky.
And soon around the general flocked
The hunters Of Kentucky.
You've heard Is'posc, how New Orleans
Is famed for wealth and beauty,
There's . girls ofevery hue, It seems,
From snowy white to sooty.
So Psckenham he made his brags,
II he 10 fight was lucky,
He'd have their girls and cotton bags,
In spite Of old Kentucky.
But Jackson he was wide awake,
And was not scared At trifles.
For we'll be knew what aim We take
With our Kentucky rifles.
so be led us down to Cypress Swamp,
The ground was low and mucky,
And here was old Kentucky.
Ia bank was raised to hide our breasts,
Not that We thought Of dying,
But then we always like to rest,
Unless the game Is flying.
Behind II stood our little band,
Nome wished II to be greater,
The flow'r Of old Kentucky's land,
Half horse, half alligator.
They did not let our patience tire,
Before they showed their faces:
We did not choose 10 waste our fire,
So snugIy kept our places.
But when so near We saw them wink,
We thought Il time to stop 'em:
And 'twould have done you good. think.
To zee Kentuckians drop 'em.
They found At last twas vain 10 fight,
Where lead was al their booty,
And 50 they wisely took to fight,
And left us eli the beauty,
And now, IL danger Ger annoys,
Remember what our trade IL,
Just send for us Kentucky boys,
And we'll protect you, ladies
