Come Irishmen or the Union and listen unto me. It's do you love old Erin, once moro for to be free, If such is your intention, you must rise I v with might and main And overthrow contention, and vote for Jemmy BUine. You hoar how England murmurs since we placed him in the van. As he docs not go the free-trade plank of course she hates the man. What is the wrong that he has done, is it because he's brave, And has the courage to stand up tho Union for to save. And not become a by-word In lands beyond the sea. No, we want a man to show the drones this nation must be free, And blind Judge West he found the Lark down in the stato of Maine, The very man who'll hit the mark, his name is Jemmy Blaine. lie Is a grand physician awaiting at the door To cicatrize our wounded minds and provide a lasting cure; His medicine must needs extend boyond the salt sea foam, For he'll not neglect his subjects when they are far from home. No doubt when he's our chogen chief his hands will be quito full In talking pork to Germany and training Johnny Bull, If Gladstone gets the mully grubs so that ho should complain He must be cured by an antidote admin is tercd by Blaine. Let the Irish make a solemn vow in country and in town. That they'll all pull together just liko tho cows of Brown, Aud with ono voico let all rejoice from mountain to the main, That we want no man to rule this land but honest Jemmy Blaine. W can't go G rover, but pass him over in all his haughty pride. For by bis work down in New York a poor mm couldn't ride. The Cormorant monopolist, of Grover can't complain, And so the rauk and file of ploughmen will go enmasse for Blaine. He's noble and magnanimous, he's manly aud he's brave, And does not want his country to hold a single slave, But tries to raise the poor man above his level plain So he who hews the wood and draws tho water is bound to go for Blaine. Another word for Ireland and for her brave sons here Do they not miss tho silver-tongued who often did them cheer, I mean the immortal Philips who always stood your friend, Could be communicate with you what message would he send? But now, no doubt, he's resting easy with Emmet by his side, And Wolf Toue, too, that was so true, they weie their country's pride. O if those voices, forever still, could echo once again, They'd say, ''Go in, ye patriots, for Logan aud for Blaine. And where is brave hero of renown, John Logan that Who girded on his good broad sword re bellion to put down, He mounted on his faithful steed and to the front did go, For Paddy's Sons, with swords and guns, have often faced their foe. That unalloyed old Celtic blood rose up in Johnny's veius, Which brought unto his memory a day on Clontarf Plains, He rajsed his saber up aloft, swore by his coat of blue, That he was Irish and could fight as well as Brian Boru. Do I see him on his charger dealing out the dread eouiinaud, "Loud up, fix bayonet:), double quick the rebels are at hand," As he rode in advance, his horso did pranee he said, "Come ou,my boys, Are wo not of the blood of them who stood on Fonteuoy?" Think comrades of tho treaty stone, don't ask the reason why. Where Kngland broke her plighted faith before the ink was dry. Just such :irts as that have causod poor Pat to .slip across the main, And elioke Great Itritiau's throat the day he'll vote for Logan aud old Blaine. And if you liud that any arc going you lo try To coax a vote for Grover, tell 'cm you've other li.h to fry; Just tell eiu you're a Paddy, they'll boou know what, you mean, And nhout Logan in your daddy, hurrah for him and Blaine.
