Hurrah for McKinley!

Hurrah for McKinley!
Hurrah for Hobart!
And the St. Louis convention
That didn't mind revolts,
We have rallied round the flag boys,
Rallied once again,
Hear the cry of freedom and McKinley.

Hurrah for New England!
Hurrah for Illinois!
New York, Pennsylvania,
And all the other boys
Who have rallied, etc.

Hurrah for sound money!
Hurrah for protection—
That sends free silver
Where there'll be no resurrection,
We will rally, etc.

Hurrah for the nation!
How it rings from sea to sea,
That McKinley is elected
Which insures prosperity.
We have rallied, etc.

Hurrah! how McKinley
Broke the Mason-Dixon line,
Boys, the solid South is broken,
And shall be till end of time.
We have rallied, etc.

Hurrah for McKinley!
Who's in Abe Lincoln's track,
Who believed that a gentleman,
Can be either white or black.
Let us rally, etc.

Hurrah for McKinley!
Who called upon his state,
To help keep a Negro
From the dreadful lynching fate.
Negroes rally, etc.

Hurrah for McKinley!
Who said he'd have no wine,
And those at the inaugural
To drink had to decline,
Temperance rally, etc.
