Subject: Lyr Req: Roosevelt the Cry (Campaign of 1904)
Here are the (possibly incomplete) lyrics I have. Please add any additional verses you possess. Also, does anyone know who the person "Hill" is in reference to the third line?


AIR -- 'Scots Wha Hae' (with allowance)

Lincoln's name and McKinley too, they traduced and would on you
Trust them, I would not, would you? Roosevelt the Cry!
Let the democrat named Hill all his evil venom spill
Yet he'll taste a bitter pill Roosevelt the Cry!

History shall write his name on the immortal scroll of fame
They shall all his deeds proclaim, Roosevelt the Cry!
Roosevelt the Soldier True, Roosevelt the Statesman Too
Same for me, and same for you, Roosevelt the Cry!
