THE COXEY ARMY OH!
We are a band Of gallant soldiers.
With a strong distaste for toll.
And we're marching on 10 Washington
To demand snare Of the soil.
Well redistribute the country's wealth
From Maine 10 Mexico
For the man who tramps mas formed N camps
We're going to down the piutocrat
And twist mOnOpOy's tall,
And every gold-bGg on the earth
We're going 70 put IN jail;
Wen make them work upon the roads,
And while they wall with woe,
They'll rue the day they came IN the way
