The Gold Bug’s Song.

[Tune Marching Through Georgia] BY JUPITER PLUVIUB. Members of the syndicate, all wealthy, fat and strong Who have controlled the currency so ably and so long; Come and fill your glasses as we sing thia little song, Forclose your mortgage on the people. CHORUS. Hurrah, Hurrah, for misery and woe, Hurrah, Hurrah, we’re bosses of the dough. What care we old comrads though evil winds may blow, While we’ve a mortgage on the people. Law may be against us boys, as we our schemes unfold: Equity and justice, too,are getting weak and old, Mer under U gold^ nd rlghteoUßness are buried For we’ve a mortgage on the people. CHORUS. We will teach the yokels how they ought to cast their votes. We will tack the gold clause on promissory notes, And tighten up the grip we’ve had upon the boobies throats. For we’ve a mortgage on the people. CHORUS. Isn’t It a wonder, what a dollar now will buy; Oats eight cents a bushel, I tell you that’s, no He, Corn and wheat will tumble In the sweet by and by, For we’ve a mortgage on the people. CHORUS.
