71. Western Virginia on the seizure of Sherrard Clemens. A good sword and a trusty hand, A merry heart and true,-- The Richmond men shall understand What Wheeling lads can do. And have they fixed the where and when? And must our Clemens die? Here's twenty thousand mountain boys Will see the reason why! The West shall set this matter right, The West shall heeded be; Though Richmond jail had Moultrie's guns, We'd set our Clemens free. We'll cross the hills, a lively band, The James shall be no stay, All side by side, and hand to hand,-- And who shall bid us nay? And when we come to Ricrs and Stripes in view,-- Come forth, come forth, ye traitors all, To better men than you. Our Clemens, he's in keep and hold, Our Clemens, he may die: But here's twenty thousand freemen bold Will sye traitors all, To better men than you. Our Clemens, he's in keep and hold, Our Clemens, he may die: But here's twenty thousand freemen bold Will see the reason why! --Boston Transcript, April 22.
