Oscar Brand - If The Johnnies Get Into Power Again текст песни

If the Johnnies get into power again
Aha! Aha!
If the Johnnies get into power again
Aha! Aha!
Our laws they'll jeer
Our flags they'll flout
They'll try to turn our officers out
And we'll all wear grey
If the Johnnies get into power

Jeff Davis's name they'll proudly praise
Aha! Aha!
And Lincoln's tomb will be disgraced
Aha! Aha!
The nation's flag will lose its stars
The stripes they'll change to rebel bars
And we'll all wear grey
If the Johnnies get into power

Bet that day of jubilee
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The Johnnies' day we'll never see
Ha-ha! Ha-ha!
We have the pluck
The Yankee wit
We'll make the grey-backed rebels git
And we'll all be fools
If the Johnnies get into power

Then cheer for Garfield three times three
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Arthur and for victory
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll put them in
There is no doubt
We'll keep the grey-backed Johnnies out
And there'll be no day
When the Johnnies get into power
And there'll be no day
When the Johnnies get into power
