Song 1
1) Lincoln and Liberty:
by Jesse Hutchinson, Jr.
Hurrah for the choice of the nation
Our chieftain so brave and so true
We'll go for the great reformation
For Lincoln and liberty too.
We'll go for the son of Kentucky
Our hero of hoosierdom through
The pride of the Suckers so lucky
For Lincoln and Liberty too.
Then up with the banner so glorious
The star-spangled red, white and blue
We'll fight 'till our banner's victorious
For Lincoln and liberty too
Come all you true friends of the nation
Attend to humanity's call
Come aid in the slaves' liberation
And roll on the liberty ball
And roll on the liberty ball
And roll on the liberty ball
Come aid in the slaves' liberation
And roll on the liberty ball
We'll finish the temple of freedom
And make it capacious within
That all who seek shelter may find it
Whatever the hue of their skin
Whatever the hue of their skin
Whatever the hue of their skin
That all who seek shelter may find it
Whatever the hue of their skin
Success to the old-fashioned doctrine
That men are created all free
And down with the power of the despot
Wherever his strong hold may be
Wherever his strong hold may be
Wherever his strong hold may be
And down with the power of the despot
Wherever his strong hold may be
Song 2
King Anti-Alcohol
by the Hutchinsons.
King Alcohol has many forms by which he catches men,
He is a beast of many horns and ever thus has been.
For there’s rum, and gin, and beer, and wine,
And brandy of logwood hue.
And hock, and port, and flip combine
To make a man turn blue.
He says he’s merry, for here’s good sherry,
And Tom and Jerry, champagne and Perry
And spirits of every hue,
O are these not a fiendish crew
As ever a mortal knew?
King Alcohol is very sly, a liar from the first,
He’ll make you drink because you’re dry, then drink because you thirst,
For there’s rum, and gin, and beer, and wine….
King Alcohol has had his day, his kingdom’s crumbling fast,
His votaries are heard to day, “Our tumbling days are past.”
For there’s no rum, nor gin, nor beer, nor wine,
Nor brandy of any hue,
Nor hock, nor port, nor flip combined
To make a man turn blue.
And now they’re merry without their sherry,
Or Tom and Jerry, champagne and Perry,
Or spirits of any hue
And now they are a temperate crew
As every a mortal knew;
And now they are a temperate crew
As have given the devil his due.*
The shout of Washingtonians is heard on every gale,
They’re charting now the victory o’er cider, beer, and ale,
For there’s no rum, nor gin, nor beer, nor wine….
