The Last Race (1832) by George Catlin

Black Hawk (1832) by George Catlin

Hunters of KentuckyYe gentlemen and ladies fair, who grace this famous city, Just listen, if you’ve time to spare, while I rehearse a ditty; And for the opportunity conceive yourselves quite lucky, For 'tis not often that you see a hunter from Kentucky.

Oh, Kentucky! the hunters of Kentucky. We are a hardy free-born race, each man to fear a stranger,Whate’er the game we join in chase, despising toil and danger; And if a daring foe annoys, whate’er his strength and forces, We’ll show him that Kentucky boys are alligator horses.

Oh, Kentucky, &c. I s’pose you’ve read it in the prints, how Packenham attempted To make old Hickory Jackson wince, but soon his schemes

repented; For we with rifles ready cocked, thought such occasion lucky, And soon around the general flocked the hunters of Kentucky.

You’ve heard, I s’pose, how New Orleans is famed for wealth and

beauty There’s girls of every hue, it seems, from snowy white to sooty. So Packenham he made his brags, if he in fight was lucky, He’d have their girls and cotton bags in spite of old Kentucky.

• But Jackson he was wide awake, and wasn’t scared at trifles, For well he knew what aim we take with our Kentucky rifles; So he led us down to Cyprus swamp, the ground was low and mucky, There stood John Bull in martial pomp, and here was old Kentucky.

• A bank was raised to hide our breast, not that we thought of dying, But then we always like to rest unless the game is flying; Behind it stood our little force, none wished it to be greater, For every man was half a horse and half an alligator.

• They did not let our patience tire, before they showed their faces—We did not choose to waist our fire, So snugly kept our places; But when so near to see them wink, we thought it time to stop 'em, And ‘twould have done you good I think to see Kentuckians drop ’em

• They found at last 'twas vain to fight, where lead was all their booty, And so they wisely took to flight, and left us all our beauty, And now if danger e’er annoys, remember what our trade is, Just send for us Kentucky boys, and we’ll protect your ladies
