Another tune, amazing what one can find on Youtube, this one was a Republican campaign song from the 1860 election and while it is far out in front of what their candidate was saying at the time it really does not take too much of an imagination to see why it scared the shit out of the South.
She can be a bit hard to understand and some of the references are dreadfully obsolete so here are the lyrics she is singing.
"The pride of the suckers so lucky" is some really obscure reference to Illinois.

Quote:Quote:HURRAH for the choice of the nation!
Our chieftain so brave and so true;
We'll go for the great Reformation—
For Lincoln and Liberty too!
We'll go for the son of Kentucky—
The hero of Hoosierdom through;
The pride of the Suckers so lucky—
For Lincoln and Liberty too!
Then up with the banner so glorious,
The star-spangled red, white and blue,
We'll fight till our banner's victorious,
For Lincoln and Liberty too!
Come all you true friends of the nation
Attend to humanity's call.
Oh aid of the slaves' liberation
And roll on the liberty ball.
We'll finish the temple of freedom
And make it capacious within.
That all who seek shelter may find it
Whatever the hue of their skin.
Success to the old fashioned doctrine
That men are created all free
And down with the power of the despot
Wherever his stronghold may be.
"The pride of the suckers so lucky" is some really obscure reference to Illinois.
