 A YANKEE WAR SONG.
T sl~; a piece of piracy, a piece of Yankee sinistry,
Whlich uw;tio to shiver in their shoe; a skulking Brtisli Ministry :
ThaI is, I hey would have shivered in their shoes- I could have swore
 ltr 'cm --
If they had had the least idea of what we'd got in store for 'em !
 Tow, row, row!
 Rowdy, rowdy, rowdy, rowdy, row, row, row!

Upon the law of nations C.UPTAIN WILKES hlas just enlightened 'erm,
And with his shells and shotted guns, I guess he's bin and
 frightened 'em ;
That is, I'm sartin he'd have terrified the British nation,
If nature had endowed them with a due appreciation
 O our tow, row row !
 Rowdy, rowdy, rowdy, rowdy, row, row, row!
ITo stopped a British liner, sirs, and proved himself the lord of her-
A British ship with upwards of a hundred guns on board of her;
'lhat, is, sie would have had a hundred guns, with shot and matches,
if she hadn't bin a merchantman, a carrying despatches !
 With a tow, row, row!
 Rowdy, rowdy, rowdy, rowdy, row, row, row

An action then he fought, and with unprecedented losses, sirs,
T guc.s his shot and shell conllhsticated those old losses, sirs ;
T'.at is, ho would have shotted her from sonie convenient distance,
If the British merchantmlan had dared to offer a rcsi'tauce
 To his tow, row, row !
 Rowdy, rowdy, rowdy, rowdy, row, row, row !


And now I calculate we'll prove the might of Yankee power, Firs :
With brag and bluster guess we'll drive the Queen out of the Tower,
 sirs ;
That is, we'll try and do it, and I swear they wont forget us,
For our will is good to do the deed-if they will only let us,
 With our tow, row, row !
 Rowdy, rowdy, rowdy, rowdy, row, row, rnov
