Woodrow, Woodrow rescue quick
Z The wolf is at; our door,
Ten thousand voices call today
That never called before.
From every hovel comes the cry,
From father. mother and child,
Before the cabin door Is crooched
This monster grim and wild.
Pale faced children cry for bread
While hungry mothers weep.
Strong men toll from sun to sun,
Yet have no pleace to sleep.
Woodrow, on thee we're depending.
win thou right this awful wrong?
II SO high well hold thy banner
Praise to thee will be our song.
