The Song of the Nation.

Do you know there's q woman running round
the land?
In kicking up racket she can "beat the
band;"
There's nothing she's afraid of. prisons her
don't scare,
And every time, tell you, she'll get there"
She raises thunder in the big saloons,
Then she smashes and she crashes and she
bends the spoons;
She doesn't leave pane of glass without a
crack,
There's no mistake but she's a High low-Jac
The men stand round and cry,
Policemen say, "oh myP
Now don't she Just beat all creation?
She is rather on the frisky,
But she don't leave any whiskey,
Not a drop-Then, Hurrah! for
Carrie Nation.
l suppose you've heard the racket that the
old gal made;
Way over there in Kansas they are all afraid.
When saloon-keeper sees her, he quits
chewieg gum,
For she's "holy terror" on his rum.
He tries to blum her, then he'll start and run,
But that don't "cut any ice" with her, she'll
have her fun
She knows her little business and she's fright
on hand"
Oh she's the biggest lady In the land.
She walks into the place,
Don't say any grace,
But just begins to get her work in;
She feels herself In clover, and when the job
Is over,
Then the boss sadly says, there's been no
shin kin.
The men begin to cry,
Policemen say "oh N.Y."
Now don't she just beat all creation?
She's rather on the risky,
But she don't leave any whiskey,
Not drop Then, Hurrah for
Carrie Nation.
