Republican Campaign of 1860. Tune Nelly Bly by Stephen Foster

Hi, rally! Ho, rally!

Round the polls with me.

For Lincoln true, and Hamlin, too

Champions of the Free!

Hail with joy the farmer's boy

Shout! oh, shout with glee!

For Lincoln true, and Hamlin, too

Champions of the Free!

East and West, do your best

Now, with heart and voice,

For Lincoln true, and Hamlin, too,

Are the people's choice.

Hi, rally! Ho, rally!

Round the polls with me.

For Lincoln true, and Hamlin, too

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

Champions of the Free!

Man and boy shout with joy

Let your voices sound;

For 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

Champions of the Free!
