MUCH YET REMAINS TO DO
Democratic Repeal Song.
To be sung by every Democrat in the Union,
Air—'Hurrah! Hurrah!'
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Then spread your glorious banners high,
Let voices of Freemen rend the sky,
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
If British Bankers bind us down,
Like abject slaves to Britain's crown,
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Should this dire monster rear its head,
By all the Blood our fathers shed,
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Then to the rescue, Freemen bold,
And like your sires spurn British gold,
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
That gallant flag waves o'er us glorious!
Hark! on the winds come shouts 'victorious!'
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
Repeal! Repeal! Repeal!
