William.William, when the people come.There is a man, a statesman true, on whom we can rely, His record is a spotless one, we'll show it by and by, He is no politician, to serve mankind he'll try, We'll shout his name at Omaha the 4th of next July.Chorus - Oh! Zion, Oh! Zion, Zion, when the people come.Marching Through GeorgiaThere's the very deuce to payAmong old party chiefs, Heresy has underminedThe working folks beliefs, The plutocratic ship of StateIs driving on the reefs, The People's party's broken out in Georgia.Chorus. - Hurrah! hurrah! we'll sound the jubilee, Hurrah! hurrah! the cause that makes us free, So we sing in ecstasy from Dalton to the sea, The People's party's broken out in Georgia.How the people shouted whenAlliance members brokeChains around their consciencesAnd from their necks the yoke, For the People's party inUnited phalanx spoke, The People's party's broken out in Georgia.Chorus -Many years have we been fooled, Like cattle meekly stood, Never got a blessed thingBut always told we shouldHave our needs attended toAbout the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
