Hail with joy the farmer's boy
Shout! oh, shout with glee!
For Lincoln true, and Hamlin, too
The champions of the Free!
East and West, do your best
Now, with heart and voice,
For Lincoln true, and Hamlin, too,
They are the people's choice.
Hi, rally! Ho, rally!
Round the polls with me.
For Lincoln true, and Hamlin, too
The champions of the Free!
Humbly born, night and morn
Inured to care and toil
From early youth he was in truth
A tiller of the soil
With zealous skill and powerful will
(Deny the fact who can)
He worked his way and stands today
A noble, self-made man.
Hi, rally! Ho, rally!
Round the polls with me.
For Lincoln true, and Hamlin, too
The champions of the Free!
Man and boy shout with joy
Let your voices sound;
Lincoln's name and Lincoln's fame
Will Freedom's foes confound!
He'll use up Steve, too, we believe
He whipped in other spats
For he's the boy to split the rails
And maul the Democrats.
Hi, rally! Ho, rally!
Round the polls with me.
For Lincoln true, and Hamlin, too
The champions of the Free!
