straggers from the regiments ahead,

THE YANKEE CREW.
A Song That Fired southern Hsarts

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l see quite q

Ala, in June, 1865:
| YANKEE D0ODLE-DO0."
(By an Alabamian.)
| Course on the canting, whining race,
The peddling, meddlng crew,
Whose hearts are vile and spirits base,
And backs and bellies blue.
They brag they lie, they cheat, they steal
In every place and time,
Their souls bloat with bigot zeal,
And crusted DER with crime.
A curse upon this mental crew,
| The smiling whiting, Yankee-D Doodle d 90,
They've been the pest of all the world
Since CrOmwells bloody days.
From Hollands quagmircs they were hurled.
For their pragmatic ways.
The Mayfiower ship that brought them DER
Conveyed a felon flock,
And spewed the vermin on the shore
BY Plymouth "biarney rock!"
Then curse the Puritanic crew,
The canting, ranting, Yaukee-Doodle-Do
In Northern SHOWS their hearts concealed
TO Ice Jumps in their breasts,
Their hearts became like "lnguns'' peeled,
And by the devil possessed.
Each mothers son, ere he could run,
His daddy learned to cheat,
And thus graduate become
With 3cduiers to compete.
Then curse upon the pilfering crew.
The shnfiinS, snutlng, YankeeD oodie-Doo.
They swarmed ike Bilge files thro' the land
With SANITY, drawing speech,
They claimed to be Gods miSsloned band
To edit, teach, and preach.
With wooden nutmegs, sawdust seed,
And pinch-back ware they strayed,
And made even little niggers bleed
When they could strike a trade;
Then curse upon the cheating crew,
The peddling, meddling, Yankee-Doodle-Doc
You know them by their coffin face
Their paid, lantern jaws,
Their Sinking lips, their sneaking ways,
Their clumsy feet and paws.
With hyprocritic eyes they leer
And sycophantic smile,
With nasal twang they utter prayer,
And rob the church the while;
Then curse the pharisaic crew,
The kneeling, stealing, Yankee Doodle-Doo.
They'd fitch a Bible from priest
But leave a tract instead,
| The widows mite" they've often seized,
And taken the orphans bread.
They've got Bible Of their own
An Abolition God;
Ward Beecher fills the Saviors throne,
And Lincoln Yields his rod;
Then curse upon the heather crew
The robblng, jobblng, Yankee-D oodie-Doo.
They're towards in their hollow hearts,
Nor dare equal field,
| In battle. on their hinder parts
They Wisely put the shield.
| With Iron ship and long, long gun
They keep beyond our shots;
Get near, and every mothers son
In double-quick-t trots;
Then curse upon the bastard crew
