Come ye who, whatever betide her, To Freedom have sworn to be true, Prime up with a cup of hard cider, And drink to old Tippecanoe.
It was a confession of Congressional incompetence to deal with a problem which Congress alone had the right to solve.
They cripple a great national industry and source of wealth, and insult the principles of American jurisprudence.
Then ho! for March fourth, forty-one, boys, We'll shout till the heavens' arched blue Shall echo hard cider and fun, boys, Drink, drink, to old Tippecanoe.
