rt! Those days are mostly done; And now we must revive the art Of shooting on the run! If Doodle must be meddling, why, There's only this to do: Select the black spot in his eye, And let the daylight through I And if he doesn't like the way That Bess presents the view, He'll may-be change his mind, and stay Where the good Doodles do! Where Lincoln lives;--the man, you know, Who kissed the Testament, To keep the Constitution?--No! To keep the Government! We'll hunt for Lincoln, Bess!--old toy That Bess presents the view, He'll may-be change his mind, and stay Where the good Doodles do! Where Lincoln lives;--the man, you know, Who kissed the Testament, To keep the Constitution?--No! To keep the Government! We'll hunt for Lincoln, Bess!--old tool-- And take him half-and-half; We'll aim to kit him, if a fool, And miss him, if a calf! We'll teach these shot-gun boys the tricks Fe By which a war is won; Especially how seventy-six Took Tories on the run. --Richmond Dispatch, May 23.
