We will rally in the city, We will gather from the farms, Shouting equalization, Greenbacks a legal tender, Then the poor will get along, The poor that dwell throughout our nation. CHORUS: Three cheers for Cooper and Cary, Hurrah, boys, hurrah; Three cheers for our nation, In peace and in war; If it were not for our laboring men, What would our nation do -- Take this in consideration. It is now one hundred years, Or just one century, Stood grand this good old nation, And our forefathers fought That we may not be a slave -- A slave to the monarchy of England. Revolutionary war was fought With the British, this we hear, To make this an independent nation; We, the independent men, We will not be a slave, To bond-holders in our nation. The Republicans are for gold, And the nation as it is; Take this in consideration. In eighteen seventy-nine Taxes must be paid in gold, If Hayes and Wheeler gain election. The Democrats are for gold, Reform and economy; What better off will be our nation, If Tilden and Hendricks, If they gain the day -- Poor people will come to starvation. Come, freeman, now arise, Put your shoulder to the wheel This Presidential election; Vote for an independent man, One in favor of greenbacks, In this great financial question. Three cheers for Cooper and Cary, May they keep marching on -- Marching with God upon the right, boys, May they conquer o'er their foes And the cursed money rings -- Right will yet conquer might, boys. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TIME THE HANGMAN by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS WRITTEN FOR MY SON, AND SPOKEN BY HIM AT HIS FIRST PUTTING ON BREECHES by MARY BARBER I WOULD NOT LIVE ALWAY by WILLIAM AUGUSTUS MUHLENBERG ANNABEL LEE by EDGAR ALLAN POE CITY OF ORGIES by WALT WHITMAN ODES: BOOK 2: ODE 7.
