Ho! Darkies, don`t you hear dose voters cryin`
Pack dat carpet bag!
You must get to de Poll, you must get there flyin`;
Pack dat carpet bag!
You must travel by de road, you must travel by de train,
And the things what you`ve done you will have to explain,
And the things what you`ve promised, you must promise `em again.
Pack dat carpet bag!
Hear dem voters callin!
Pack de clean boiled rag.
For there`s grass in the west, and the rain am fallin`.
Pack dat carpet bag!
You must pack up a volume of Coghlan`s Figures,
Pack dat carpet bag!
And a lot o` little jokes to amuse those niggers.
Pack dat carpet bag!
You must wheedle all de gals with a twinkle of your eye,
You must bob down your head when de eggs begin to fly.
Oh! those eggs what they`re saving, and they`ll throw `em by and by.
Pack dat carpet bag!
Hear dem voters callin`!
Pack de clean boiled rag.
For there`s grass in the west, and the rain am fallin`.
Pack dat carpet bag!
You must get upon a stump, you must practise speakin`,
Pack dat carpet bag!
You must follow Georgie Reid or Alfred Deakin.
Pack dat carpet bag!
You must come to de scratch, or you`re bound to fail,
For it ain`t any time to be sittin` on de rail,
Or de votes that you`ll get — they won`t keep you out o` jail.
Pack dat carpet bag!
Hear dem voters callin`!
Pack de clean boiled rag.
For there`s grass in the west, and the rain am fallin`.
Pack dat carpet bag!
And supposin` that you`re beat, and you feel like cryin`,
Pack dat carpet bag!
You must hustle back to work — just to keep from dyin`.
Pack dat carpet bag!
You must travel second-class when you travel by de train,
For you haven`t got a pass on de end of your chain,
While the other fellow`s packing for de great campaign.
Pack dat carpet bag!
Hear dem voters callin`!
Pack de clean boiled rag.
For there`s grass in the west, and the rain am fallin`.
Pack dat carpet bag!
