LOCOFOCO SONG

C                                        G7
Locos all great and small, listen while I sing,
   C7                F             G7                C
A song to you both good and true about our Pierce and king
                                                      G7
General Pierce, he is not fierce, but full of Yankee game
    C7          F (Am F#°) G7            C
For he did go to Mexico the hottentots to tame

C          F         C       F#°    G7
High Locos, Ho Locos, Listen while I sing;
    C7                  F             G7                C
A song for you that's good and true about our Pierce and King

General Scott, he likes things hot, especially his 'soup'
He thinks it good for flesh and blood when'er his spirits droop
For Pierce and King we'll shout and sing while on our 'winding way'
So 'Coons' look out what you're about we're bound to win the day

On next march we'll take the starch out of 'Fillmore's' collar
Old Scott we'll beat on the first heat and make the 'Coons' all holler
Then Locos all--great and small--shout aloud and sing
A loud huzza and hip! Hurrah! For our own Pierce and King!

Campaign of 1852
