THE SUGAR-CURED CONGRESS-
Tune-"The Old Oaken Bucket"
How dear to our hearts is our Democratic Congress
As hopeless inaction presents 1t to View
And every mad pledge that their lunacy knew
The widespread depression, the mills that closed
The rock of free silver where great Grover fell.
They've busted our country, no use 10 deny, it,
And darn the old party. It's busted well.
This g. Cleveland Congress.
This Queen Lilly Congress,
This Wild free trade Congress
We ali love SO well
Their noss-covered pledges we no longer treasure
", Fer rot often at noon when VI IN. out hunting Job
They've given US nothng-not even a cob
How ardent we've cussed EN- with lips OVERLOOKING
With sulphuroGs blessings as great swear words
The emblems of hunger, free trade and free silver
Are sounding in sorrow the workngman's knell.
This bank breaking Congress.
This mill-closns Congress.
This starvation Congress
We all love well.
How sweet from their eloquent lips to receive It,
y, Cursed tarllt protection no longer uphold
The factories silent. the furnaces cold.
And now far removed from our lost situations,
The tear Of regret doth intrusively swell,
We yearn for Republican Administration
And sigh for the Congress that served US so well.
This sugar-cured Congress
We wish n-well
