This is not old thirty eight but it 1 s old ninety seven, You must put her in Center in time. He looked round and said to his black greasy fireman: You must shovel in a little more coal, For when we cross that White Oak 1Vlountain You can see old Ninety Seven roll. It•s a might rough road from Lynchburg to Danville, And a line on a three mile grade. It was on that grade that he lost his airbrake And you see what a jump he made. He ~vas going dovm grade making ninety Bi:ae miles an hour, When his whistle broke into a scream. He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle, And was scalded to death by the steam. Now, ladies, you must take v,rarning, From this time now and on, Never speak harsh ·words to your true loving husband; He may leave you and never return. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Herk! the boatswain hoarsely bawling, By topsail sheets and haulyards stand; Down topgallants quick be hauling, Down your staysails, hand boys, hand! Now it freshens, set the braces, Now the topsail sheets let go; Luff, boys, luff, do not make wry faces, Up your topsails nimbly clew. Now all you at home in safety, Sheltered from the howling storm; Testing joys by heaven vouchsafed ye, Of our state vain notions form; Round us roars the tempest louder, Think what fear our minds entreat; Harder yet if yet blows harder, Now again the boatswain calla : J' The topsa,il yards :point to the wind boys, See all clear to reef each course; Let the foreahett go--do not mind, boys, Though the weather should be worse; Fore and aft the spritsail -- yard yet, Rffe the mizan- sea all clean; Hands up, each preventer--brace set, Men the foreyard- -cheer lads cheer. Now the dreEilful thunder's roaring, Peal on :peal contending clash; On our head fierce rain falls pouri.p.g, In our eyes blue lightening flash; One wide water all around us, All above us one black sky; Different deaths at once -- suround us, Hark! what means that dretlf'ul cry. The foremast's gone! cries every tongue out, Over the lee, twelve feet above deck; A leak beneath the chest-tree's sprung out, Call allhands to clear the wreck. Quick the lanyards cut to pieces, Come, hearts, be stout and bold! Plumb the well the leak increases, Four feet water in the hold! While over the ship wild waves are beating, We for wives or children mourn; Alas! from thence there is no retreating, Still the leak, is gaining on us, Both chain-pumps are choked below; Heaven have mercy here upon us! For only that can save us now. Over the lee-beam is the land, boys, Let the guns overboard be thrown, To the pump come every hand boys, See our mizenmast is gone. The leak we have .found, it cannot pour fast, We have lightened her afoot or more; Up and rig a Jury- -foremast, The rights! she rights! boys --wear off shore. Now, once more, :peace round us beaming, Since kind heaven has saved our lives; From our eyes joy' a tears are streaming, For our children and our wives; Grateful ~ hearts now beat in wonder, To him who thus prolongs our days; Hushed to rest the mighty thunder, Every voice bursts forth in praise. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Yankee Doodle, etc. I will wager now a mug of flip, And bring it on the table; Put Yankee boys aboard a ship, To beat them they are able.

The land we till is all our own, Whatever the price, we paid it; Therefore we will fight till all is blue, Should any dare invade it. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On a Summers day as the streams were rippled by the softest gentlest breeze, did a ship set sail with a cargo laden to a port beyond the seas. Refrain: Did she ever return, no, she never returned. Her fate is still unlearned Though for years and years there were fond ones watching for the ship that never returned. There were sweet farewells there were loving signals, while a form was yet discerned, tho' they knew it was not solemn parting for that ship she never returned.

From north Potomac's circling line, To where the Dan and Staunton join, What noble Rivers winding down, Thy vales with plenty crown! From Monticello's height behold, How vast a scope is eastward rolled, To Chesapeake's Atlantic tide, Of all our bays, the pride! From Allegheny's loftier top, Sublimely grand, how wild a scope, Like Ocean billows in a storm, Thy vardant mountains form! Hence north and westward, pour thy springs, Whose vernal swell such tribute brings, As scarce Ohio's banks controls, So rich and full it rolls. Return we to the east again, Where countless streams enrich the plain, And Agriculture loads the marts, Of Commerce and the Arts. Here Richmond reigns unrivalled queen, ANd crovns the fertile midland scene, With ell that wealth and taste combine, To polish and refine. The Capitol's majestic pile, Of thirty years the ceaseless toil, At length assumes a splendid mein, And dignified the scene. And soon to grace its noble square, The tribes of Fashion will repair; And muses too, to take air, Delight to linger there. Hail, hills of Richmond! Where the cheek of beauty blooms, And lovely Woman, Man's breast illumes. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Stern over the dark tempestuous weve, That heaves ita sullen swell, Over many a hero bold and brave, Who in that combat fill; The shouting host of freemen rose, Unfurled the flag of fight, And bade defiance to their foes, To Britain and her might. Together now the squadron's ride, The thundering cannons roar, The lightings flash from side to side, And slaughter wade<> in gore: Fierce horror now patrols the deck, To. swell the rage of fight, And tumult flies with hurried step, And wild averted sight. Where Perry moved, the god of war, More fiercely seemed to glow, Destruction like a baleful star, Rained terror on the foe; From s0ul t0 soul the pride of fame, The love of country flies, And every heart received the flame, That lighened in his eyes. No longer rocks the battles sweep, On Erie's stormy tide, But over its wild and ruffled deep, Victorious Perry rides: Rise freemen of Columbia., rise!

Naval Song High fill the bowl, and round it ‘twine, The laurels wreath of fame, The wreath that blooms thro latest time, To deck the hero’s name, To Perry and his gallant host The sparkling wine shall flow, They tamed the pride of Britain’s boast, And brought her glory low. Stern over the dark tempestuous wave, That heaves its sullen swell, Over many a hero bold and brave, Who in that combat fill, The shouting host of freemen rose, Unfurled the flag of fight, And bade defiance to their foes, To Britain and her might. Together now the squadron’s ride, The thundering cannons roar, The lightings flash from side to side, And slaughter wades in gore: Fierce horror now patrols the deck, To swell the rage of fight, And tumult flies with hurried step, And wild averted sight. Where Perry moved, the god of war, More fiercely seemed to glow, Destruction like a baleful star, Rained terror on the foe, From soul to soul the pride of fame, The love of country flies, And every heart received the flame, That lighened in his eyes. No longer rocks the battles sweep, On Erie’s stormy tide, But over its wild and ruffled deep, Victorious Perry rides: Rise freemen of Columbia, rise! Exalt the hero’s name, Through distant lands and foreign skies, Sound! Sound, the trumpet of fame!!!
