The Hero of the Thames. TUNE- The Poachers.

Let Loco Focos rail and rant At currency and banks, We're sick of all their empty cant, We spurn them from our ranks We do not mind their silly talk, Nor heed their idle claims; We'll make the whole banditti walk, With our Hero of the Thames! The Hero of the Thames, my boys, The Hero of the Thames! When British foes assail'd our land, And hover'd on our coast, Pray where did little Matty stand Why, snug behind- -a post! A post and place were all his thought, (At spoils alone he aims,) While HARRISON our battles fought, And conquer'd on the Thames! The Hero of the Thames, In vain the Red-Coats sought to win A foothold on our soil; He met and drove them back again And sav'd our homes from spoil. Their savage allies dared no more To light their midnight flames; Oh! they heard the deep mouth'd cannon Upon the river Thames! Upon the river Thames, Nor there alone did victory fling Her standard to the sky; The Phrophet's town, the bard may sing, Which saw the red man fly. Though if Maumee earlier laurels shed, Fort Meigs her trophy claims, Where many a gallant soldier bled With the Hero of the Thames! The Hero of the Thames, When Peace displayed her flag of white, And hushed the broody strife, Who then, victorious from the fight, Withdrew to humble life? No lust of power, no love of gold, No selfish, sordid aims, Could ever for a moment hold The Hero of the Thames! The Hero the Thames, And there he stood behind his plough, And drove his "team afield," Content with rural honors now, And what his farm might yield. The buckeye falls beneath his hand, His skill the soil reclaims; He tiller of the land, Though Hero of Thames! The Hero of the Thames, But hark! our bleeding country cries vengeance and reform; The patriot farmer greets our eyes, And every heart grows warm. Our candidate now hears the call6 6 6 I'm ready he exclaims; Then speed him hail him one and all! The Hero of the Thames! The Hero of the Thames, Then let us hang our banner out, And spread it to the breeze: The spoilers we will put to rout, And do it, too, with ease! And let us all like brothers be, And UNIONIsTS our names Huzza! Huzza! for Victory With the Hero the Thames!
