Tommy, dear Tommy, why did you go
Out to Lakeyiew yourself to show,
And in that hostile golden ring 81
Cleyeland's doubtful praises sing?
Tommy dear Tommy, what did you do
-Four years ago for democracy true,
When in turn it placed you in the govern
or's chair?
Tommy, dear Tony, why didn't you stay
there?
Now Tommy, dear Tommy, you bid us adieu
When democracy was never SO fair and
true;
The reasons you give amount to but one,
Our political clock is sixteen to one.
While sixteen to one it has always been,
when?
Thy Dog Star of Hope, oh when did 1t rise
To open SO wide your political eyes?
Now Tommy, dear Tommy, alas, adieu!
We loathe to lose one SO good and so true;
But to choose between you and the gallant
Bryan
We prefer to poke stick at the British
lion.
Thy name once had a. magic sound
To democrats the state around;
We listened to your clarion call
And made you chief, both one and ALL
And in turn, oh Thomas. what have you
Beside the lake SO fair, my son?
Your political star went down in gloom
So dark the night shade cannot bloom.
And over thy long political bier
We proceed to shed the silver tear
OF -'Auld Lang Syne," my noble boy,
But a silver tear of hope and joy.
