Hoping the North may win the fight,

But thinking the South is 'partially right.'

Where the trembling, panting contraband

Makes tracks in haste from the happy land;

And where the officer-gentlemen

Catch him and order him home again!

Where the sutler acts like an arrant scamp,

And aids the contractor to rob the camp;

Both of them serving the South in its sin,

And all of them helping the devil to win.
