Ahoy, Dead Horse !

Try this (essentially from Harper's Magazine, about 1880, IIRC):

                Oh, Shenandoah is my native valley,
                   Ah ha! you rolling river!
                Oh, Shenandoah is my native valley,
                   Ah ha ha! you Shenandoah!

But inciting to riot is a felony.
