THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE.

Columbia now holds high station
The land of the brave and the true,
Here comes the oppressed Of all ma
tons,
OUR standard the Red, White and
Blue.
We would be at peace with our
neighbors,
And did not want war to pursue.
But they blew up the Maine and our
sailors,
Which won't do for the Red, White
and Blue.
For our Dewey is leader that's
mighty,
And our Yankee boys know what
to do,
And we made Spaniards flee at Ma
Mia
From onr standard, the Red, White
and Blue.
AS ono man we will stand by our
colors,
To God and our country be true,
We II very soon do up the Spaniards
With our standard, the Red, White
and Blue.
Now Hobson to-day is our hero,
For he is both fearless and true,
We will crown him with glory and
honor,
Our standard, the Red, White and
Blue.
And now the great fleet of Cervera
Had no chance with Sampson we
knew
They had better shake hands and
be brothers,
And come under the Red, White
and Blue.
Long lite to our hero George Dewey
God bless all our Yankee boys. too,
All hail to the land of Columbia,
Our standard, the Red, White and
Blue.
