WHEN SUFFRAGE TAKES
THE HAWKEYE STATE
(Tune: "When Johnny Comes Marching Home)
I
When Suffrage takes the Hawkeye State,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The world will call us wise and great,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer and the boys will shout
To see the women all turn out.
And we'll all feel gay
When Suffrage comes to stay.
And we'll all feel gay
On Equal Suffrage Day.
II
The Massachusetts Governor
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Says, "Suffrage is the cause I'm for!"
Hurrah! Hurrah!
And Clark is also ours, you know;
He's just as wise, and not so slow--
And well all feel gay
When Suffrage comes to stay,
And we'll all feel gay
On Equal Suffrage Day.
III
So lend your smiles and best applause,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To help the worthy Suffrage Cause,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
And all who will may join our song
And help to pass the word along.
For we'll all feel gay
When Suffrage comes to stay,
And we'll all feel gay
On Equal Suffrage Day.

A SONG OF THE FREE
(Air: John Brown's Body)
By ten thousand years of conflict
Men struck off the tyrant's chain
"Death or Freedom" was the battle cry
On every field they gained.
They stamped the cry in hero's blood
O'er every domain
"Men forever shall be free!"
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Men forever shall be free!
Put on strength, O world of women,
For your place and birth-right stand
The savage night is gone, the morn
Of reason lights the land.
Slave and victim now no longer,
Raise your voice, put forth your hand;
For women shall be free.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
For women shall be free!
Mankind had groped in darkness
For the rising of this day.
With half the world in bondage
Truth concealed her light away.
With the dawn upon our foreheads,
Now we shout upon the way --
"Men and women shall be free!"
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Men and women shall be free!
-- G. A. Wrightman |
