In youth, upon the tented field, his laurels he did gain, No Chief so many battles fought, that never fought in vain; In peace, the quiet Statesman he; but when grim war arose, He buckled on his armor then, to meet his country's foes. Like a fine, true-hearted gentleman, All of the olden time. And when he'd served his country well, in senate and in field, The honors that awaited him most freely did he yield; He turned him to his home again, and sought a Farmer's toils, For, though he'd filled the offices, he never took the spoils. Like a fine, true-hearted gentleman, All of the olden time. And when the People, in their might, have put their solemn ban Upon the arch Magician and on all his tory clan, To manage well their state affairs, with one accord they'll send For another Cincinnatus, the Farmer of the North Bend. For he's a fine, true-hearted gentleman, All of the olden time. When in the youthful Warrior's hand his country placed the sword, He conquered all her enemies, that threatened from abroad; And now, when with domestic foes her highest places teem, The land the gallant Soldier saved, the Statesman must redeem. Like a fine, true-hearted gentleman, All of the olden time. Let every sound, true-hearted Whig now raise his voice on high, And, for the triumph of the cause, join Freedom's loudest cry; Come to the fight, we'll win the field - away with doubts and fears; The People's man is Harrison - let's give him three good cheers, For he's a fine, true-hearted gentleman, All of the olden time!
