The CRUISERS,
A New SONG--Adapted to the Times.

BEHOLD upon the swelling wave,

With streaming pendants gay,

Our gallant ships invite the waves,--Our, etc.

While glory leads the way.

And a cruising we will go,--oho, oho, oho,

And a cruising we will go,--oho, oho, oho,

A cruising we will go,--o oho,

And a cruising we will go.

Ye beauteous maids your smiles bestow,

For if you prove unkind,

How can we hope to beat the foe;--How, etc.

We leave our hearts behind.

When a cruising, etc.

See Gearys flag once more displayd;

Upon the deck he stands:

Old Englands glory neer can fade,--Old, etc.

Or tarnish in his hands.

When a cruising, etc.

Be England to herself but true,

To France defiance hurld;

Give peace, America, with you,--Give, etc.

And war with all the world.

And a cruising, etc.
