LOG CABIN AND HARD CIDER CANDIDATE.

TUNE --- "Auld Lang Syne."

Should good old cider be despised,
And ne'er regarded more?
Should plain log cabins be despised
Our fathers built of yore?
For the true old style, my boys!
For the true old style,
Let's take a mug of cider now
For the true old style.

We've tried experiments enough
Of fashions new and vain,
And now we long to settle down
To good old times again..
For the good old ways, my boys!
For the good old ways,
Let's take a mug of cider now
For the good old ways.

We've tried "the greatest and the best,"
And found him bad enough;
And he who "in the footsteps treads"
Is yet more sorry stuff.
For the brave Old Thames, my boys!
For the brave Old Thames,
We'll take a mug of cider yet
For the brave Old Thames.

Then give's a hand, my boys!
And here's a hand for you,
And we'll quaff the good old cider yet
For Old Tippecanoe.
For Old Tippecanoe, my boys!
For Old Tippecanoe,
We'll take a mug of cider yet
For Old Tippecanoe.

And surely you'll give your good vote,
And surely I will too;
And we'll clear the way to the 'White House' yet
For Old Tippecanoe.
For Tip-pe-canoe, my boys!
For Tip-pe-canoe,
We'll take a mug of cider yet
For Tip-pe-canoe.
