Marching Home

When they come back from
bloodstained fields, the country's
hero fighters, displaying on their
belts and shields the scalps OF
prussian blighters; when they
come back across the foam from
active German hunting, how
proudly they'll be welcomed
home! Well deck the land with
bunting! The bands will play to
beat the band, brave airs in
handsome doses, and pretty girls,
on every hand, will pelt the boys
with roses. And there'll be
music in the kirk, loud organ
peals and singing, and every man
will quit his work and keep the
welkin ringing. I'd hate. to be
the Stacker lad who skulked and
lodged the fighting, when from
Paree or Petrograd the boys
come home a-kitingl I'd hate to
be that young man then, dis
graced beyond redemption, who
claimed SPAWN or wen as
reason for exemption. Oh, bet
ter far to fill a grave in some red
field uncharted than stink around
when banners wave to greet the
hon-hearted. When we, to see
the heroes back, before the
courthouse rally, the bloodless
fellows who were slack will hide
in some dark alley.

and Madison, and who died during
his second term; Daniel G. Thomp-
kins, under President Monroe; and
John G. Calhoun, under Presidents
John Quincy Adams and Andrew
