SONGS! I R. 129<br />

There was Tabitha Twist, L'A a mind to be kiss'd.<br />

And made on ny heart ar. attack ;<br />

But her love I derided, for 'J d was lop sided,<br />

And cursedly warp'd i/i she back !<br />

Phere W2LS Barba '^a Brian, who was always crying,<br />

" Dear youth, pnt an end to my woes;"<br />

Rat to save in hei head, ail <strong>the</strong> tears that she shed,<br />

Nature gave he. a bo Ale nose.<br />

Josephine came at last, to nail my head fast.<br />

Firm as oak wil I prove to my dear,<br />

\nd when Parsov. Te<strong>the</strong>r, has tack'd us toge<strong>the</strong>r^.<br />

Some chips <strong>of</strong>' Ae block may appear.<br />

Hickory Tivig's.<br />

Tr.jul <strong>of</strong> a true Jackson man^<br />

iXe'Pl fight ior liip country^ wherever he can.<br />

With hip iii'kory twigs, and <strong>the</strong> laurels so green;,<br />

"'is hearty fo*' nis love, for his country his> arm,<br />

With a true mettled courage, and passion as;warni#<br />

He'll fight, and he'll love, to his colors he'll standi<br />

Till he's touch'd up <strong>the</strong> knaves with a taste <strong>of</strong> h^$<br />

brand.<br />

Made <strong>of</strong> hickory twigs, and <strong>the</strong> laurel so green.<br />

Oh, had you but been at New-Orleans, <strong>the</strong> day<br />

When <strong>the</strong> .lackson men stood in <strong>the</strong> battle array.<br />

With hickory twigs, and <strong>the</strong> laurel so green.<br />

Each a gay cap, and a plume waving over his head.<br />

His shoulder-knot bright as <strong>the</strong> honor that led<br />

To <strong>the</strong> field, where <strong>the</strong> wrongs <strong>of</strong> his country had<br />

wrung<br />

His proud soul, and to vengeance too justly had stung:<br />

With <strong>the</strong>ir hickory twigs, and <strong>the</strong>ir laurels qo srr-^n.<br />
