Buchanan and Breckenridge Songtext

von Oscar Brand

Come all ye men, from every state,
Our creed is broad and fair;
Buchanan is our candidate
To take the White House chair.

For there is balm in Gilead,
We hear the people say;
Buchanan and John Breckenridge
Will surely win the day!

Come all ye Democrats!
Hear the people say;
Buchanan and John Breckenridge
Will surely win the day!

We'll turn our backs on Fremont,
For his principles endorse;
A woolly-headed platform,
Upon a woolly horse.

But let our hearts for Union be,
The North and South be one!
They've worked together manfully,
Together, they'll work on.

Come all ye Democrats!
Hear the people say;
Buchanan and John Breckenridge
Will surely win the day!
