G |
| For |
fair and |
free |
elections. |
For government and order's sake
And law's important sections,
Let all stand by the ballot box
For freedom of elections.
Each town and county's wealth and peace,
Its trade and all connections.
With science, arts must all increase
By fair and free elections.
Then thwart the schemes of fighting lands
And traitor disaffections.
Stand up with willing hearts and hands
For fair and free elections.
Should enemies beset us round
Of foreign fierce complexions.
Undaunted we can stand our ground
Upheld by free elections.
Elections are to make us laws,
For trade, peace and protection.
Who fails to vote forsakes the cause
Of fair and free elections.
