'Coons in eighteen hundred forty
Hung their sungs both loud nd hearty,
NVeni it strong for Captain Tyler,
Shoved him in and burst their bilcr;
Get ou the way poor old Johnny,

And their secret punn duvising,
"All around fie lot they're tramping,
Did refuted lies now vamping,
Gel out the way with your stories,
Coonies you can'r como it e'er us.
"For we see the noon committees
All uhoul the towns and cities,
Plotting schemes both mean and dirty,
To sustain their sinking party;
Get out the way old Kentucky,
You have always been unJucky.
Oonr.s are loud in Harry's praises,
All their papers lie like blazes;
Their old (jamoa ihey now are playing,
And they'll soon commence pipe laying,

Get out the way, you're mistaken,

You can't raise so strong a patty
